2023-2024 Junior District Vocal Audition Information
*Please note that we have transitioned to only one audition piece for our combined mixed voice Junior Choir going forward.*
"Come Follow" is sung as a round with the recording. Choose the key that best suits your singer. The singer enters at measure 5 and sings the round TWICE through. Slight variations of the tune are acceptable. Click here for the scores and tracks.
