AUDITIONS

So You Want to be a Hullabahoo?

The Hullabahoos are a group of guys at the University of Virginia who like to hang out and love to sing. Being a part of the Hullabahoos is a substantial time commitment, but be prepared for the ride of your life. The group is as much about the close friendships you will form and the good times you will have together as anything else.

Our day-to-day activities include rehearsing twice a week, time in the recording studio, performing around grounds and on the road, and just hanging out. Some of the best times we have had together are on our annual Fall East Coast Tour or on trips to Los Angeles, New York City, the Bahamas, Las Vegas, Houston, New Orleans, London, or Madrid, for example.

We encourage you to think about coming out if you are interested, even if you have no background in music but just enjoy singing.

When are auditions?

This year (2023-2024), the Hullabahoos will be holding in-person auditions. If you tried out for the Hullabahoos before and did not make it, we strongly encourage you to try out again. The preliminary auditions will take place on Thursday (8/24) and Friday (8/25). You can stop by West Lawn Room 29 anytime from 11 AM to 5 PM for your audition. Sign up here!

Do I need to have any singing experience?

Nope! Several of our best guys over the years have never had any voice or musical training. You don’t have to know how to read music either, you just have to enjoy singing.

What should I prepare for my audition?

The audition consists of vocal scales along with a verse and chorus of one song that showcases your vocal abilities! If you have any questions about what the Hullabahoos are like or how to prepare for your spring audition, feel free to contact us at hullabahoos@gmail.com.

How many people are you looking to take?

We don’t go into auditions looking for a certain number of people. We are just looking for the best guys we can for our group at that particular time.

If I didn’t get in this time, can I try out again?

Absolutely! We hope you do. Several guys in the group didn’t get in their first time around, so please try out again if you want to. Best of luck!
