    • Hold several open rehearsals and encourage new singers to try out the chorus.
    • Offer prizes and incentives to current singers who recruit new auditionees.
    • Advertise in your local gay rag, church/synagogue bulletins, in coffee shops and at LGBT events.
    • Use Facebook, Grinder and other social media options to spread the word.
    • Collect names of interested auditionees at your annual Pride event.
    • Keep a database list of singers who are interested in joining you.
    • Create an audition packet of information for singers considering an audition with your chorus.

Approximately 4 weeks before auditions email or mail your information packet letter to all potential auditionees from the database. The packet should include a cover letter, general information about the chorus, a season calendar, a map to the audition site, a chorus newsletter and a chorus brochure or flyer.
