Fall 2020 Auditions

Thursday, August 20 @ 5 pm

Due to Clemson's decision to move the first month of classes online, auditions will be held virtually through Zoom. Auditions will include a pitch matching exercise, two short solos of your choice (lasting a maximum of 5 minutes together), and a few personality questions. 

What should I sing for my audition?

There is no right or wrong answer! We recommend that you pick a song you feel comfortable and confident singing. Some of the things that we will be listening for during your solos are tone, vocal range, and stage presence. A good starting point is to explore some of the music that we have covered to get a feel for the styles and genres we typically perform.

What is the time commitment for TakeNote?

TakeNote is a one-credit hour class, that rehearses on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5-6:15 pm. We perform a few gigs each semester, as well as one to two major shows towards the end of each semester. All major performances and dress rehearsals are mandatory, and members are expected to perform at the majority of our gigs. All major dates are outlined in the syllabus at the beginning of each semester. Though it may seem overwhelming, we encourage our members to reach out to faculty or our Steering team to work around any conflicts or concerns.

Are there any outside requirements for TakeNote?

In order to be a member of TakeNote, you must be a female student with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 and be enrolled in or planning to enroll in either MUSC 3450 (Cantorei), MUSC 3700 (Clemson University Singers), or MUSC 3710 (Women's Chorus).
