Good day, everyone!
I would appreciate insight that anyone into the Georgetown Madrigal audition process, if there is an audition process. I am a Soprano (as you may have been able to tell from my username) that has been singing for about 13 years now. I love madrigal singing and fully intend to continue with it in college. Georgetown has an internationally renowned choir, so if I’m lucky enough to attend, I will be auditioning. I want to know how many songs and what type of songs are required so that I can prepare the music this summer.
The other extracurricular that I cannot live with out is Mock/Model UN. I love negotiating, resolution writing, and everything about the spirit of MUN. (I actually just won my committee at my senior conference!) I would love by insight anyone has about applying to be a chair, hosting high schools, or any general information about how the club operates differently than others.
Also, if there are any fellow high schoolers who share similar interests, id love to hear about your plans and experiences!
Thank you all, and I hope to see everyone in the fall!
Additionally, I would love to gain insight into the process that one goes through to be able to write for The Hoya
I’ve never heard of the Madrigal so I cannot help you there, but I can help for the Model UN team and The Hoya. The Model UN team is run by the International Relations Club and hosts 2 conferences and usually travels to 3 fall conferences, 4 fall conferences, and WorldMUN. Applying to be a chair usually involves staffing at least 1 of the conferences and preferably both, as chair assignments are done in the Spring for both conferences. The way the team runs is a little different than at most schools, as there is a separate application for every conference, so the team that travels is always different. Getting to travel to conferences can get pretty competitive, but the team is ranked #1 or #2 every year for a reason, and lots of members of the IRC apply numerous times and usually travel at least once. The new team captain this year, and the one last year, both were originally rejected from their first conferences, so being persistent and showing you care really does help.
For The Hoya, freshman year applications are a bit random as far as I can tell, but after about a year, it becomes much easier to join and write as far as I can tell. The rival publication, The Voice, accepts basically everyone,
