Scottie Singers’ Auditions are CLOSED
FOR THE ‘26-27 SCHOOL YEAR
Students' scores were a combination of:
1. How well they did in their audition, doubling the sight reading score
2. Their current grade in choir (If they are not in choir, the score was an average of their grades in all classes)
DISCLAIMER: Before you click the link for results, I wanted to share some information that our counselors and admin team provided. If your child selected Scottie Singers as their #1 or #2 choice on the choice sheet, it is likely they will be placed in the class, as long as it does not conflict with a class required for high school credit. It is also likely they will receive the class as long as it does not conflict with a required course for their Fine Arts Academy major if they are majoring in a department other than choir. For example, if a student is a dance major and Scottie Singers conflicts with their dance class, they may not be scheduled for Scottie Singers. Lastly, if your child is an alternate, unfortunately, they were very close, but did NOT make Scottie Singers. However, if for whatever reason, the capacity of our Scottie Singers' class drops below 30, they may be contacted and offered to join the class. Some students have joined the class as late as mid-September.
