To Prepare:
Choose a verse and chorus from a song of your choosing that shows off your voice and personality. You may not have any musical accompaniment, in other words, you will sing it a cappella. Also prepare to sing scales and match pitches to test your range. Please avoid musical theater.
What We Are Looking For:
We are looking for all types of voices and percussion, but would particularly love to have some sopranos and lady basses come out to auditions!
The Process:
During auditions, you will meet with the President, Vice President, Music Director and Performance Director. You will then warm up, pitch match, and perform a part of your chosen song.
Hearing Back:
Decisions about membership will be made after auditions and callbacks are complete. You will receive an email within the next few days if you have been invited to join our sisterhood!
We can't wait to meet you!

If you are brought for callbacks, you will meet all of Sedocs! During this time we will mingle and get to know you, and allow you to get to know us! We will then proceed with the musical part of the audition. This includes a solo, either a new one or the one used at your first audition. You will then be placed in a voice part and taught a section of one of our general rep songs, and asked to perform it in a quartet-style.
