Senior Districts Auditions Update

Students Auditioning for Senior Districts:

The auditions are this Saturday, November 19th at King Philip HS
The bus will leave FHS at 12:20pm for our 1:45pm audition time

Dress professionally: 
Men wear Ties/Dress Pants, Dark Shoes and Socks
Women wear Dresses/Dress Pants, consider lighter color tones with comfortable dress shoes/flats, avoid scarves and overly-distracting jewelry

Remember to be in "audition mode" as soon as you walk into the room.  The confident demeanor should start the second you walk in the room.  NEVER apologize for anything either before, during, or after your audition!!  Believe in yourself and your abilities.  If you make a mistake DONT STOP--keep going and avoid making faces or apologizing.  

Before you start, take deep breaths and mentally and physically focus yourself.  Take your time on the first breath, and work on staying relaxed--don't allow nerves to cause you to wander your eyes around or fidget with your hands.  Just enjoy the music, sing with a light-hearted expression, and trust your preparation. 

Before you sight sing, take your time, don't let adrenaline cause you to start before your ready.  Take time to establish the key in your head (sing up to Sol and down to Sol).  Look for any tricky skips or rhythms before you start.  Count off the melody in your head slowly and once you begin, don't stop!

Proud of you all!  I'll be there with you through the audition process.  Let me know if you have any questions or are unclear about anything,

Mr. Raymond
