Auditions
Thank you for your interest in the Dickinson Infernos! Before auditioning for the group, please visit our table at the Activities Fair to sign up for a time-slot. Generally, auditions occur during the Fall semester of every academic year.
In general, auditions are short and low-pressure. We ask that you prepare a verse and a chorus of a song that effectively showcases your voice. This song can be in any style of your choice (ex. Pop, Country, Rap, Musical Theatre, etc.). Because our group generally sings contemporary music, please avoid classical repertoire. Whatever you choose, have fun with it!
After you perform your song, we will ask you to sing a few scales, so that we have a better understanding of your vocal range. Following this exercise, we will ask you to match pitch with a keyboard. Finally, we will have you sustain a pitch to hear how well you blend with other voice parts in the group. For example, if we assign you to alto, we will have you sing with a soprano, tenor, and bass.
The ability to read music is not a requirement for the group, just helpful, so please come to auditions even if you have no solid musical background!
Callback auditions will follow general auditions within a few days.
Good Luck
