It is recommended that you have experience playing the instrument you select to audition with and that you’re comfortable working in a band setting. Additionally, it is required that you know how to read a chord chart and/or lead sheet. Familiarity with using an in-ear personal monitor system and click track is recommended but not necessarily required.

You’ll be leading the VBS theme songs all week on the Main Stage for opening/closing. Prepare to be animated and excited! The kids and adults coming want to see that you have energy and enthusiasm for music and of course, for Jesus! It’s important that you’re flexible with rapid changes and quick adjustments. Be prepared to get used to performing with an in-ear monitor system and a click track. If you don’t know what that is or have never used one, don’t worry, we’ll help you learn. Expect to be busy during VBS week…but don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of coffee for you.
