Since 1893, we have been ambassadors of Texas A&M. Performing concerts each year take us across the state of Texas, throughout the country, and often around the world. Our membership ranges across all skill levels. Corps membership is not required!  We invite you to come join the Singing Cadets and help us represent the best university in the world.

Auditions for Fall 2024 will be in-person or via Zoom, whichever is more convenient for you.  The most important thing to consider before auditioning is our rehearsal times. Our rehearsals are held during normal class periods as listed below and the choir rehearses 4 days a week. Please make sure that your schedule allows for these times.

Audition Dates

Open auditions are held during the previous semester and during New Student Conferences each semester. You are welcome to contact us for an audition at any time.  However, if accepted, membership will not begin until the next full semester.
