How it works.
What is a show choir?
A Show Choir is a performance group combining choral singing with choreographed movement or dance, sometimes adding a thematic element to the show.
Led by Choir Director Jen, you’ll learn and perform songs from all sorts of genres such as rock, pop, jazz, musical theatre, soul, disco, country, and more!
What does it involve?
Our main Show Choir rehearses once a week on Tuesday evenings, and performs a number of shows and concerts throughout the year.
As an alternative to the main Show Choir, offering a similar experience with a lower commitment, we also run the Friday Crew choir group, which will rehearse a smaller portion of the main Choir’s performances, and join the main Choir for selected songs at the end of semester show.
Our groups are very social and supportive, and it’s a great way to let your hair down and have a little fun.
How to audition.
Currently, the Sunshine Coast Show Choir has around 50 members in its ensemble.
We welcome new auditions in January and July for the following semester. We run two semesters (or ‘seasons’) a year.
Membership for the main Choir is $275 per semester, and includes access to our full rehearsal platform which features choreography videos, vocal part recordings, sheet music, tips and tricks, performance calendar and much more. Rehearsals are from 6.30-8.30pm on Tuesdays.
Membership for the Friday Crew choir group is $198 per semester. Rehearsals are from 1-2pm on Fridays.
The audition comprises just a few easy steps. It may look a little daunting, but remember, we’re all here to learn and have fun!
Step 1: Application
Step 2: Vocal Audition
Book in a 10 minute Zoom meeting with Choir Director Jen via the link below. Prepare a one minute acapella (no instrument backing) song of your choice to perform in your audition. Jen may also conduct a brief vocal range test, and ask a few musical background questions.
Step 3: Dance Tutorial
We’ll send you a brief dance routine video via YouTube, along with a dance / movement tutorial. Practice the routine as much as you like within a 24 hour period, film yourself doing it and email to Jen at sunshinecoastshowchoir@gmail.com.
Step 4: First Rehearsal
Come to a rehearsal and make sure you found your tribe and let us see how you fit!
The Director's decision will be made immediately after the first rehearsal and is final.
