2023 FHS Choir Auditions

Auditions for auditioned choirs during the 2023-2024 school year will take place during January 2023. Current FHS choir students will audition during their current FHS choir class period. Current 8th-grade FMS choir students can complete a vocal audition at FMS during their regular 8th-grade choir class period. Current 8th-grade students at FMS (or elsewhere) can come to FHS on the afternoon/evening of January 25th to complete a vocal audition (and participate in the dance audition process if auditioning for a show choir).

Every student auditioning for a choir at FHS must submit the following two documents:

      1) Signed Parent & Student Agreement form (page five of the FHS Auditioned Choir Handbook)

      2) 2023-2024 FHS Choir Audition Form (page six of the FHS Auditioned Choir Handbook)

For students planning to audition for the FHS show choirs, dance auditions will take place in two waves on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 in the FHS Auditorium.

Dance Audition, Wave 1: 4:00 PM

Dance Audition, Wave 2: 6:00 PM

Students may attend whichever start time is most convenient for them. Students do not need to prepare anything beforehand, as the choreography will be taught step-by-step on that evening. However, if they wish to prepare, the full audition choreography video is posted here and also posted at the top of this webpage.

If you are not sure which choir is a good fit for you, check out the FHS Choir Flowchart.
