HOW DO I AUDITION?

WHAT SORT OF TRAINING MUST MY SON HAVE?
It is not necessary, but it may be helpful. We are a civic organization and not affiliated with any school system. Our choristers come from over fifty different schools and home school organizations across the Birmingham Metropolitan area which provides our organization a rich diversity of geography, socio-economics, and skill levels.
