Who participates in Spring Follies?

All choristers in Concert Choir and Master Singers are part of this concert. Each choir will perform at least two songs during the performance.

In addition, Concert Choir and Master Singers may audition for a solo or small group act for the performance.

How do I sign up for an audition? 

All singers who wish to sing a solo or participate in a small group act must sign up for an audition. You may sign up immediately! — Just scroll down to the form at the bottom of this page! You must sign up no later than 11:00 pm, Wednesday, March 23rd! 

When are auditions?

Auditions will take place ONLY on Monday, March 28th.  Each act will be assigned a five-minute time period in which to audition, between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm. You will receive an email with your assigned audition time. Please note, ALL auditions will take place at Annandale United Methodist Church, 6935 Columbia Pike, Annandale, Virginia 22003.

What type of music should I choose?

Most singers choose to sing musical theater selections; however, we encourage singers to choose songs that have meaning to them.  We often feature other types of music in the concert, including self-composed, classical works, country, popular styles, etc.  We also encourage you to check out what was done in past years as a guide to what might work for the concert.  Consider doing a song that speaks to you, but is less popular.  See the linked copies of the 2018 concert program listing and the  2016 and 2017 years’ repertoires! Here is an online resource if you are interested in performing musical theater; you may find additional resources through your local library.

What should I prepare for the audition?

All singers are to come prepared to do their act(s) as if they were to be viewed by an audience that day.  All costumes, props, staging, etc. should be included and your music should be memorized.

There are three types of accompaniment to choose from:
1. You provide a recording on your phone that has the accompaniment music on it. A Bluetooth speaker will be available. 
2. You accompany yourself, have a friend or family member accompany you, or choose to use no accompaniment.
3. You use the FCS provided accompanist.  If you choose to use the FCS-provided accompanist, please bring a photocopy of your music for the accompanist to use. The music should be copied on both sides of the paper and 3-hole-punched for easy use by the accompanist.

How many acts may I prepare?

You may prepare only one solo act, but you may be in as many group acts as you’d like. We STRONGLY encourage singers to form small groups!
