want to join?
Singers interested in joining the YYC are asked to audition in either the Spring or the Fall for the upcoming season. Singers in grades 6 and up are encouraged to audition.
Contact us to inquire and set up an appointment.
Once you have been accepted into a choir, you will be sent a registration form via our Google gmail account. Payment is due by the end of September of each choir year.
Auditions
What does an audition involve?
Singers will sing "O Canada" or another song of their choice that they bring with them. Singers will also be asked to do some ear tests like echo clapping and singing. The whole process is painless and lasts about 10 minutes.
Why do I have to audition?
Hearing each singer individually helps the conductor measure the strength of the singer's voice and musical skills. It gives her an idea for where to place the singer within the ensemble and how far along the singer is in his or her vocal and musical journey.
When are the auditions?
Auditions are held in June and August each year.

Parent support
How do I get involved to support my child?
You can support your child by bringing him or her to rehearsal on time, helping to ensure that your child attends every rehearsal and by encouraging your child to complete theory homework each week.
Parents are invited to join the Board of the Yellowknife Youth Choir Society and will be asked to help with fundraising.
Parents are also needed in a rotating weekly basis to mark theory books, size uniforms and provide pot luck items for social events.
