Students can join one or more of the performance groups. Auditions are required for all, except for Wallace State Choir and Concert Band.
In advance of the March 9 auditions, the program is hosting an audition workshop, open to anyone who seeks assistance in preparing for auditions for scholarships, pageants, church choirs, plays, etc. The workshop will be held on Saturday, March 3 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Burrow Center for the Fine and Performing Arts. The fee is $30 per person and individuals should bring music or accompaniment for a mock audition.
“This workshop would be a great way for students to work the bugs out or tackle some of those nerves before the actual audition,” said Tiffany Richter, director of the Wallace State Singers and Choir.
