Placement Meeting:

For all choirs, please sign up for a brief, (very!) friendly placement meeting here:

And, please fill out this singer information form (which is entirely confidential):

The placement meeting will take place in Dr. Coreen Duffy's office, Music Room 12. You do not need to prepare anything in advance. The meeting will consist of some vocalization, tonal memory exercises, and possibly some sight-singing. If you have a solo that you'd like to sing, you are welcome to do so a cappella.
