Auditions

Auditions are open for a community youth choir, welcoming rising 5th through 12th graders who love to sing. Choirs rehearse once each week after school, and in the upcoming season select ensembles will perform with the Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra and at Dollywood. Auditions will be held at Christ Episcopal Church. Students already enrolled in ACS do not need to audition again. For information about the audition process or to reserve a time, consult the audition materials provided by the organizers.
