CURRENT CHORISTER AUDITION INFORMATION:

Mandatory re-auditions are held each Spring for current Preparatory and Concert Choir members. This year, re-auditions will take place on May 12 for Concert Choir members and May 19 for Preparatory Choir members. All Preparatory and Concert Choir members wishing to continue with NCC in the upcoming academic year must re-audition.

Touring Choir members need not re-audition.

The panel of directors who listens to the audition decides whether or not a chorister moves to the next choir or continues in the current choir.  Decisions regarding advancement are based on the vocal, musical, and social maturity demonstrated by the chorister during the auditions and during the previous year. Consistent attendance is also a consideration for advancement in the choir program. It the goal of the choir program that all choristers sing in a choir in which they can succeed and flourish. Some children spend only one year in each choir; others spend more than one year in Preparatory and/or Concert choir.

The audition content of the re-audition is very similar as that of prospective choristers who are auditioning for the first time. 

Letters inviting children to participate in NCC another year - either by singing in the same choir or moving up to the next most advanced choir—will be mailed by mid-June.
