What to Sing
Auditions are simple and fun. They’re designed to check for voice range and quality. Boys and girls should be prepared to sing a song of their choice. If you would like a suggestion, lyrics and accompaniment are available below for Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star/ABC Song, the first verse of America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee,) and first verse of America the Beautiful. You are welcome to use the accompaniment and/or sample audition when practicing and recording a video audition.
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star/ABC Song
Piano accompaniment
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
America (My Country, ’Tis of Thee)
Piano accompaniment
My country,’tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the pilgrims’ pride!
From every mountainside,
Let freedom ring!
America the Beautiful
Piano accompaniment
O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
