AUDITIONS ANNOUNCED - Young Artists who are interested in joining HarmoniX this coming semester may audition on Tuesday, August 18 at KPAC. Arrive between 3:30 and 4:30 PM. Students in 6th through 12th grades may audition. Be prepared to sing a 60-second acapella cut of a song that shows your voice well.
HarmoniX is our KPAC Young Artists' acapella vocal ensemble. The focus is developing musical skill in hearing, anticipating, and singing (holding) harmony parts. Developing a musical "ear" for harmony creates a strong foundation for many vocal and musical applications later in life.
Young Artists who are selected to participate must prioritize our Tuesday rehearsal time from 3:45 to 5:15 and should look ahead on the calendar to clear the schedule as much as possible. We only rehearse once weekly and there's much to learn before our Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 6.
An exciting development is that HarmoniX will learn a song to perform with HCHS Madrigals this Christmas season! HarmoniX will also sing at several functions during the Christmas season, and young artists are expected to be at all community performances.
There is no cost to audition. The cost to participate if selected is $50 per semester. Start thinking about your audition selections and show up between 3:30 and 4:30 to audition on Tuesday, August 18!
