Preparation

There are 3 components to the audition. 

Solo/Small Group
​​​​Prepare 60-90 seconds or 32 measures of a musical theater, jazz, or pop song tied to the theme of homecoming/coming home, which can be interpreted MANY different ways. We STRONGLY encourage duets, trios, and other small groups. You may audition on both a solo and in a small group. You must find a track to audition on; ask Ms. Samawi or Mrs. Kotze for assistance if needed.

The Old Red Hills of Home Ensemble Cut
Prepare measures 50-end on your voice part. If you participated in SpongeBob in the spring, sing the voice part you were assigned. If you did not participate, choose your voice part. You will audition on this song in small groups! 
  • Sopranos should learn Part 1 on the top line. At measure 74, sopranos should learn both splits on the top line. 
  • Altos should learn Part 2 on the bottom line. At measure 74, altos should learn the top 2 notes on the bottom line. 
  • Tenors & Basses should learn Part 3 on the bottom line. At measure 74, tenors & basses should learn the bottom 2 notes on the bottom line.
  • Here is the sheet music: ​Old Red Hills of Home (measures 50-end) 
  • Here is the reference recording: Old Red Hills of Home (5:31-end) 
  • Here is the track you will perform with: ​Old Red Hills of Home Accompaniment Track (4:19-end)

From Now On Ensemble Cut
Prepare measures 93-149 on your voice part. The format of this song is SAB (soprano, alto, baritone). If you participated in SpongeBob in the spring, sing the voice part you were assigned. If you did not participate, choose your voice part. You will audition on this song in small groups!
  • Here is the sheet music: From Now On (measures 93-149) 
  • Here is the reference recording (this is different than the arrangement from the movie): From Now On SAB (1:49-3:07) 
  • Here is the track you will perform with: From Now On Accompaniment Track (1:43-3:02)

If you would only like to be considered for the ensemble numbers, you do not need to prepare a solo/small group song. Just learn the 2 ensemble cuts (Old Red Hills & From Now On).
