Emmaus Worship

The basic steps for completing an audition at Emmaus are:

1. Prepare the song(s) below and prepare to perform them for our team.
2. Send us a *video or schedule an **in-person audition.
3. Expect feedback/next steps.

*Please ensure we can see and hear you if you choose to make a video. It does not have to be edited or professional. You may also use accompaniment (a track or another musician) in the video, but again, please make sure we hear your part.

**In-person auditions are conducted in front of one or more current team members from the stage in the main worship center. Accompaniment is provided from tracks and a metronome and guide cues will be running.

Please prepare the following song according to the instrument(s) you want to audition for. If you will audition for more than one part, please prepare the assigned songs accordingly.

• Drums, Bass, Electric Guitar, Female Vocals – “Story to Tell” by Worship Together
• Male Vocals – “House of the Lord” by Phil Wickham
• Piano – “Because of Christ” by The Belonging Co
• Strings – “My Worth Is Not In What I Own” by Shane & Shane
• Acoustic Guitar – “His Glory and My Good” by CityAlight

For vocal parts, adjust the key to comfortably fit your voice. For instrumental parts, please prepare to play the original key of the recording.

We evaluate all auditions based on the following:

• Knowledge: clear evidence of knowing the music
• Confidence: boldness in singing/playing to be ready to lead others on stage
• Technic: *timing, pitch, rhythm, tone, stage presence
• Humility: teachable spirit and desire to serve the church

*Our team plays with a metronome on every song. To join the team, all team members must be able to play/sing in time with the metronome. In-person auditions are conducted with the metronome.
