Rise Up Children’s Choir seeks talented young singers ages 5 through 18 who love to perform and are self-motivated. Placement for all Rise Up ensembles is by audition only. Our choirs are taught by levels, and children are placed by musical skill and performance ability into the choir that our staff deems fit for each individual child. The ability to read music is not required, although helpful.

 

To audition, students must register online, and then submit audition videos between April 1 and April 30 at 11:59 PM. Young people who are being considered for membership in Children's Choir will be called back for a live audition on Saturday, May 13. (All those who are called back will receive notification by May 8.) Teens who are being considered for membership in Lumina or Amplify will be called back for a live audition on Saturday, May 20. Ignite casting is completed from the video auditions and/or Children's Choir callbacks. 

 

Not all children who audition will be cast as we fill our ensembles by need. Casting in a Rise Up ensemble is for the season. Rehearsals begin in September the week after Labor Day and end with our final concert at the end of June. Membership is not month-to-month. Students who are cast are expected to remain for the entirety of the season. Preference for membership in our choral organizations is given to current students and immediate family members of current students.
