HOW TO JOIN THE CLUB?
There are 2 rounds of auditions. The first round is an individual audition where you sing a song of your choice for us, followed by a short interview. Shortlisted applicants will then be sorted into groups for the second audition round, where you will learn and perform an a cappella piece with your group.
