We don’t require a prepared audition. Our audition agenda consists of:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We are a 10 to 15 member ensemble, but only perform 5 at any given time (with rare exceptions).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
At the Renaissance Festival, two on each of our parts (SSATB) gives us some scheduling flexibility. Since we’re double-cast, each person is generally responsible for about half of our performances.
During our holiday season, we have three people per section for the same purpose. Each section decides among themselves how to best handle their schedule to cover our performances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The Renaissance Festival is a busy time of year for DeCantus. It runs for 7 weekends plus Labor Day from mid-August to late September or early October (in 2022 it’s August 20 through October 2). We do about five shows per day, each day of the festival. Each person is usually responsible for 7-8 days.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Rehearsals are Tuesdays from 7:00-9:00\/9:30 PM throughout much of the year. We rehearse in our homes, so locations vary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
DeCantus welcomes 2022 as our 23rd season!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
