Starship Singer/Dancers - postponed until further notice. Keep practicing!
PART 1 - Fill out the form using the following link - Starship Singer/Dancer Audition Information
PART 2 - Pick one song that you want to audition with. Practice, memorize, and record it for us! ONLY RECORD THE BEST ONE MINUTE OF YOUR SONG. Submissions must be video auditions, which you can upload to Google classroom assignments (current EHS Music Students only). You could also send us a link if you post on youtube. You could also email us your file at aaune@suhsd.net, but video files are large, so I recommend one of the other two ways.
If you get stuck with upload problems, DO NOT GIVE UP. We can figure something out!
What song should you sing? Starship performs a lot of pop and Broadway music. Most of our music is faster-paced, rather than a lyrical ballad. I recommend picking a faster-paced song from pop, country, rock, Broadway etc. Ladies, Billie Eilish doesn't sing a lot of fast-paced music - NOT A GOOD CHOICE FOR AUDITIONS.
Pick a song that SHOWS YOU OFF. Can you hit the notes in Let it Go like they are supposed to sung? If so, sing it, and show us what you can do. But most of you can't, so don't sing something like that. We want to hear your BEST, not your "I might get it!"
VIDEOS ARE DUE BY FRIDAY, JULY 24.

PART 3 - Dancing auditions will be a live audition on Tuesday, July 28. All who auditioned for singing will gather at EHS for an evening of choreography. Our choreographer, Tiffany Rodrigues, will lead you in a series of dance moves, which you will perform in small groups at the end of the night.
We will set a date as soon as we are able, but it will be in late July/early August, and before school starts. We will let you know the date/time via Google Classroom, and the email addresses you provided on Part 1.
