2017 Combined Ames Children’s Choirs

AMES – Do you like to sing? Do you like to make new friends? Placement auditions for the spring season of the Ames Children’s Choirs will be conducted Jan. 3 to 8 in Ames. The program will be accepting singers ages 7 to 18 into all three choirs at this time. Rehearsals resume on Jan. 8 and 9. All singers will participate in the Spring Concert on Sunday, May 13, in addition to other performance opportunities. Auditions for the 2018-2019 Season will be held for all three choirs in May and June.

For the placement audition, singers may sing a folk or patriotic song but are welcome to audition without a prepared song. No previous experience or vocal training is required for participation in the choirs, only the ability to match pitch and maintain a melody and the desire and commitment to participate in a choral ensemble of excellence. A tuition fee will be assessed to cover the cost of facilities, instruction, music, and administration.
