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.

The dance will be fully taught at the auditions, but here is the video if you'd like to get a head start!
Please note: this choreography video is not mirrored, so Ms. Shayla's right hand = your right hand, etc.
This handbook outlines the commitment that each student makes in an auditioned choir at FHS. Page 5 is the Parent/Student Agreement form to be signed and brought to the audition. Page 6 is the audition form, the top half of which should be filled out by the student.
