Who May Audition:
Any girl in grades 1-10 with a desire to sing. Everyone must audition each year regardless of previous TCGC participation.

The Audition:
Be sure to arrive ten minutes prior to your audition. Auditions are heard by TCGC conducting staff and are approximately ten minutes in length. Singers audition in a small group setting, completing simple vocal exercises that gauge a singer’s range, tone quality, intonation, expression, confidence, and poise. Singers do not need to prepare a solo, but they should be prepared to sing a portion of a familiar tune/song such as The Star Spangled Banner, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Happy Birthday, etc.

Audition Location:
TCGC Auditions are held at Pilgrim Lutheran Church – 3901 1st Ave S, Minneapolis Click here for directions!

Placement and Results:
The main criteria for a singer’s placement are ability and age. All qualified singers are offered the chance to participate in the appropriate TCGC ensemble, space permitting. Placement results will be sent out by US mail within one week of audition.
