Audition Requirements

Prepared solo with piano accompaniment (please provide music for accompanist). Pick a piece of music that suits your voice best; all genres including musical theater, classical, pop, rock, etc. are welcome. You are welcome to bring two pieces of contrasting styles if you wish. No music? No problem! We will have a variety of well-known pieces ready for use at your audition.

Vocalization exercises to scan your vocal range.

WARDROBE REQUIREMENTS

The IMC prides itself on maintaining a professional appearance at formal events. We want to help you look your best on stage! Members will be responsible for purchasing their required wardrobe through the IMC. Further information will be disbursed early in the season to allow members time to gather their uniforms. Our staff will take your measurements, provide you with a detailed list of requirements, and direct you to the online store with our vendors to assist you in purchasing all formal wear needed.

MEMBER RESPONSIBILITY

The IMC rehearses weekly on Wednesday nights from 7-9pm. During mainstage production periods we also rehearse on Sundays from 6-8pm. Most rehearsals take place at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 6050 N. Meridian St.

The rehearsal schedule generally follows a typical academic calendar, breaking for the winter holidays and summer vacation. While we hope to have you at every rehearsal and performance, we understand that you will have various professional and personal obligations throughout the year. The IMC is happy to work with your schedule to be as flexible as possible!

The performance schedule varies from year to year, but consists of a winter holiday show, a spring concert and an early summer concert. The group also performs at various community and philanthropic events throughout the year.

WHO CAN JOIN THE IMC?

Auditions are open to anyone who is willing to sing in the tenor or bass range, irrespective of gender, gender expression, or sexual orientation.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

First and foremost, finances should never hinder a singer from joining the IMC! The chorus is happy to offer financial assistance and payment plans to alleviate any financial burden.

A costume fee of $30 is due annually to cover wardrobe accessories and other uniform pieces. All singers must also purchase the official production wardrobe. New singers should plan to purchase the official formal wardrobe (which includes a black tuxedo jacket, white tuxedo jacket, black tuxedo pants, white tuxedo shirt, black tuxedo shoes, and black socks.) The one time cost for all pieces is approximately $250. Financial Assistance and Payment Plans are available.
