• HS auditions are all a cappella.  The teacher may give starting pitches and count the quartet in, but then must allow students to continue unassisted.
• All vocal parts must be present at the audition.  If a school cannot fill a part, the judge or another school can fill in.
• Students may audition on the voice part that they sing in their school ensemble, and is appropriate for their vocal health.  The decision as to the vocal well-being will be left up to the discretion of their teacher.
• Students will be evaluated solely on their performance of the audition piece with respect to rhythm and pitch accuracy, tone, articulation, diction, and musicality.
