How:
Young people wishing to sing in one of the four Honors Choirs must schedule an audition
and are chosen for their vocal ability. Everyone auditions every year. The audition information sheet, available by clicking above, gives valuable information about both the organization and the audition process. Please note that fifth graders will
be heard by TWO directors as they are eligible for two choirs.
When and Where:
Auditions are usually held in late spring. Directors
will consider adding qualified singers throughout the summer on
a space-available basis. Mid-year auditions are held in December,
also on a space-available basis. If you wish to be notified if there
are mid-season openings (December), call the Honors Choirs office
at (507) 252-0505 to have your name put on a waiting list.
All auditions are held at the Honors Choirs offices located at Assisi Heights. Enter the Conference Center door at the back of the convent complex.
