How to Join the SCC
Auditions are held in the spring and summer of each year to bring new singers and their families into the
Sacramento Children's Chorus.
Thank you!
The Audition Process
We are so pleased that you are interested in joining the Sacramento Children’s Chorus. Be assured that
our goal is for the audition process to be a very positive and happy experience for all children.
The audition gives the conductor the opportunity to get to know your child and a way to find out their
musical potential. Each singer meets with the conductor individually. They are asked to sing some
simple vocal exercises, echo some rhythm and melodic patterns and sing “America” otherwise known as
My Country tis of Thee.
Most of our singers come to us with very little to no musical experience. The conductors are looking for
the singer’s ability to match pitch as well as their level of rhythmic and melodic memory. If your child is
older than 5th grade, some previous experience is helpful. Other than reviewing “America”, there is no
preparation necessary for the audition.
Families are notified by mail / email within a couple of days as to the outcome of the audition. Please
assure your child that this is a very friendly and positive experience.
If you have a singer that would like to audition, please contact the SCC office at
916-454-1141 or info@sacramentochildrenschorus.org.
Frequently asked questions
- Where are rehearsals held?
The SCC rents space for rehearsals at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd at 1615 Morse
Ave. Sacramento, CA 95864
- Why do I have to pay for my child to sing in a choir?
The SCC is non-profit corporation that is governed by a Board of Directors. Funds to run the
organization are raised through donations, corporate sponsorships, concert tickets, and tuition. Tuition
covers only 51% of the organization's budget.
- Are there special clothes that my child needs for performances?
Yes. Each choir has a performance outfit that is purchased by the singer. At the beginning of each
year there is a wardrobe exchange for singers to purchase gently used clothing.
The SCC does not set up carpools, but we do make rosters available the first week of rehearsals so
that you can arrange for your own carpools.
- What is the time commitment?
The biggest commitment for all levels is to be at each and every rehearsal. The only excused
absence is illness. The busy time of the year is just before concerts. Extra rehearsals are called as
well as the time for the concert. Cantoris is often asked to perform for private parties, to perform with
the Opera or the Sacramento Choral Society and Orchestra.
