Worship band auditions

We are excited you are exploring the possibility of serving on our Worship Team.
Our worship team’s objectives are to create an atmosphere of fervently passionate yet completely accessible worship through song. Our culturally relevant worship will be marked by the faith and expectation that God is actively present in our praise, encouraging the hearts of people and radically changing lives.

TEAM EXPECTATIONS

  • Musicians and vocalists invest time throughout the week practicing. We do a run-through of the worship set on Sunday morning for sound, media, and transitions. All participants will arrive thoroughly rehearsed and prepared.

  • Each person must learn to use Newstart's App to schedule and block out dates and become proficient in Chartbuilder and Rehearsal Mix.

  • All musicians and vocalists will use in-ear monitors.

  • Musicians and vocalists must be comfortable playing/singing with a click track and following Playback tracks during rehearsals and services.

  • Vocalists are required to know how to sing different harmony parts.

  • All musicians must use Chartbuilder on a tablet for charts during service.

AUDITION PROCESS

Step One: A two-part submission
A. Fill out the questionnaire below and click the submit button. You will receive a confirmation of submission.
B. Share an existing link or create a video of you playing and/or singing one current worship song of your choosing and any second song of your choosing (secular or Christian). You are submitting 2 songs via video.
*Using your phone is perfect. There is no need to get elaborate or spend too much time producing this video.
*Submit the video by emailing it to gregm@newstart4u.org or texting it to 614-547-3447. A separate email or text for each song would be great (helps with file size).

Step Two: Take the online portion of the partnership Course.

Step Three: The Worship Band Leadership Team will review your submission and reply within two weeks (of having received your questionnaire and your videos from "Step One above).
*If we do not know you well or have more questions, we may contact you for a Zoom or in-person interview as a part of this step.

Step Four:  This step only applies if you are accepted for a six-month development period (trial period).
*Schedule a meeting with Greg McNichols to start the development process.
*Participate in the in-person portion of the Partnership Seminar and become a partner with Newstart.
