Audition/Placement Process
Complete the registration form above. If you select Academy Singers (vocal placement) or Concert Choir (audition), you will be contacted in July by a SAAVA team member to schedule your child’s vocal placement or sign up for an audition. Details will be sent at that time. Students enrolling in Encore and Interlude do not need to audition.
Practice Policy
Students are expected to practice at home Monday-Thursday and attend ALL Friday rehearsals on campus. I reserve the right to terminate choir members if they fail to practice the required repertoire. This is merely to make space for students who are committed to contributing to their vocal growth.
Attendance Policy
The high level of artistic excellence expected at SAAVA performances MANDATES regular attendance. Students are expected to arrive on time and attend all rehearsals, performances, and other events.
Excessive Absences
After THREE absences, SAAVA staff will request a meeting with the singer and parent(s). The SAAVA director will request an individual vocal check with the singer to check on the singer’s musical preparation. At the discretion of SAAVA directors, the singer may be dismissed from the choir. Any singer who incurs two consecutive absences will also be asked to have a vocal check.
