RCP is looking for talented, outgoing, and slightly crazy individuals to join our ranks! Do you think you have what it takes to be a part of the best show choir in Austin? Come show us what you’ve got!

Auditions will be held on Sat., Aug 25th, and Sun., Aug.26th by appt only.

For these auditions, you will be asked to sing an excerpt from a song of your choice (an accompanist will be provided, or you may choose to use a pre-recorded accompaniment or to sing a cappella), do some simple sight reading, learn some choreography and show your vocal range.

Some general information – We rehearse on Tues nights for about half of our rehearsal season. Then we add in some Thurs nights and Sat mornings. Attendance is super important, so please take this into account when deciding about auditions.

I have an idea!! You can watch clips from our 2012 show “Legends!!” Then you can show them to all of your friends! They’ll thank you for making RCP a part of their lives :) . Here are a couple of clips to get you started:

The idea was to make a spoof of the e-harmony commercials that were running non-stop at the time. The video stars RCP members (in no particular alphabetical order) Robert Frazier, Jason Harris, Eddie Hauser, Anne Johnson, Kendra Korshak, Kenny Peters, Ellie Price, and Kelle Schiesler. Keep an eye out for a special appearance by our very own Craig Barron!
