attention: FALL AUDITIONS!

it's that time of the year!

We're back and we are SO excited to announce the dates of our upcoming Fall auditions! With last year being full of success and new projects, we are looking forward to continuing our legacy with new additions to our Fauxmily! 

This year Faux Paz, along with other fellow University of Maryland A Cappella groups, will be holding Fall auditions on Sunday September 17th and Monday September 18th at 7pm in Room 3160 of The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center located at 8270 Alumni Drive. 

Auditioning is simple! Just come to auditions with one verse and one chorus prepared of a song of your choice to be sung a cappella. If you can beatbox, show us what you can do! You only have to audition once on whichever audition day is more convenient for you!

After each audition day, a callback list will be posted on our website (umdfauxpaz.com/auditions), Facebook (Faux Paz), and Twitter (@UMDFauxPaz) pages. If you are called back, come prepared with another verse and chorus selection (different than auditions). At both auditions and callbacks, we will test your pitch matching ability and vocal range. At callbacks, we will also teach you a segment of one of our arrangements based on your voice part to hear how you blend with the group. After callbacks, we will call you to let you know our decision!

Here are some tips from our members:
