Glee Club Auditions
Audition for the Spelman Glee Club
Fall 2026 Audition: Friday, August 14, in Rockefeller Arts Building, Room 109, from 12:30 - 4:30 p.m.
The Spelman College Glee Club is open by audition to all students of the Spelman College community. The Glee Club is the premier performance organization for the College and sings for most campus events. The Glee Club accepts members from various disciplines and varying levels of musical knowledge.
The Glee Club is considered a class and each member must be registered for one or non-credit hours. The Glee Club meets on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 5 to 6:15 p.m.
To become a member of the Spelman College Glee Club, an audition is required. Auditions for the Glee Club will take place during New Student Orientation prior to the start of classes in the fall semester.
The audition is an evaluation process that provides an opportunity for each student to demonstrate performance ability. All candidates will be examined for tonal memory, pitch matching, and vocal quality. Vocal range may also be determined during the audition. Though the ability to read music is not required, sight-singing ability may also be evaluated. Candidates will be notified of acceptance prior to the first rehearsal.
Audition Tips
- Make sure you read the ‘Glee Club Auditions’ page thoroughly so that you are prepared.
- Be sure to practice. Ask your private teacher, conductor, or parent for help to ensure you sound your best! We suggested that you record yourself singing in your audition space to get an idea of what the evaluating faculty will see and hear.
- Sometimes nerves can take over in an audition. Relax, and be yourself. We will ask you to introduce yourself. Please include your name, classification, major and hometown in your introduction. We may also ask you to share your experience and musical goals/aspirations.
