BUILDING COMMUNITY THROUGH SONG SINCE 1991

The auditions for Choristers are designed to be a fun, low-stress experience where we get to know each singer, their voice, previous musical experience and other interests. In fact, we like to call it a "meet-and-sing", not an audition!

It is also a time for you to get to know us, ask questions about logistics and teaching philosophy, and see if LCC is a good fit for you. We hope you’ll join us!

Three easy steps are all it takes to join Choristers. They are:

  1. Read about and sign up for a “meet-and-sing” time.
  2. Meet the LCC staff, sing for us, and ask us all the questions you can think of.
  3. Accept our invitation to join the group and register!

Any questions? Please contact Artistic Director Dr. Gabe Lewis-O'Connor, through email or personal phone number (785) 766-8385

The "meet-and-sing" will be comprised of the following activities:

“Meet-and-Sing” Registration (10 minutes, completed before scheduled audition time)

  • Registration form, to be filled out by parent/guardian
  • Musical assessment form, to be filled out by singer

Singing (10 minutes, open audition format with singer, parent/guardian and LCC Artistic Director in the room)

  • Sing “My Country 'Tis of Thee" in a key of your choice (D, E, or F major usually work well)
  • Range check (singer will sing repeated exercise up and down the scale to show range)
  • Pitch memory exercise (a series of pitches will be sung, singer sings them back)
  • Sight reading exercise (a short written musical phrase will be shared, singer sings it back)
  • Questions/discussion (the most important part! A chance for any questions, discussion, etc.)

How to sign up for a meet-and-sing time:

  1. Use the calendar below to sign up for a time slot. First choose a day, then a time that works for you, entering the required information to secure your slot.

  2. Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled time. This will allow both parent/guardian and student to complete the required paperwork before singing. For example, if you sign up for a 11:00 am time slot please be in the church filling out paperwork no later than 10:50 am.
