This has no doubt been asked a thousand times before, but having become a recent convert to the works of the dynamic duo over the summer, and having foolishly convinced myself that I have some (limited) acting/musical ability, I was wondering what anyone could tell me about the actual society and how auditions work. Do you just come in, sing a song, say a few lines, and hope for the best? Or what exactly happens? You'll hopefully forgive such general questions, but I'm quite new to all this and don't really know what to expect. Thanks in advance.
The email for G and S soc is

The auditions are pretty straight forward. The MD will probably sing some scales with you to get and idea of your voice/range. Then you'll sing a bit of a song. Then you'll probably be given some lines to read. They'll say thank-you, and let you know when you'll find out the results.
As for productions, theres usually a concert first semester with an unauditioned (I think?) chorus, but you can audition for a solo if you're feeling brave.
Second semester is the big production, and the auditions will probably be in January. Keep an eye out for posters, or join the society, and you'll be notified via email.
