ABOUT
Our popular Mini! group is for performers aged 6 to 8 (grades 1-3 in Fall 2025).
AUDITIONS
No formal audition is required for Mini! However, we’d love to hear your voice – please send us a video for vocal assessment singing “Happy Birthday” or any other song you’re comfortable with. This will help us get a sense of your vocal abilities.
