Teacher Recommendation

Auditions are conducted in the spring for fall start, in August for fall start, and in January for spring start

We would like your help in identifying boys who would be good candidates for the Lincoln Boys Choir.  The choir is composed of boys in grades three to high school/ college from all schools in Lincoln and the surrounding area.  The boys explore many different styles of fine choral music and learn to develop their best vocal sounds in ways that are healthy for their voices.  This is an outstanding choir.  The standards for membership are high, but we know there are boys in your school who sing well. Click here to recommend a student.  Recommended students will be contacted for a virtual audition. 

Audition Criteria used:

Singing the first verse of "America" (My Country, 'Tis of Thee) sung with accompaniment and then acapella. Memorization is encouraged, but a copy of the music will be provided.
