Youth living in northern Utah are invited to apply to sing in a choir that will perform during the Saturday afternoon session of the April 2025 general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Audition applications must be submitted by Jan. 17, online at https://airtable.com/appGXR86Pc3XKukYL/paghqPDlznpzuwKEk/form
Information about the choir, its audition applications and its rehearsal schedule was first published Jan. 10 on ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
Who is eligible?
Youth ages 14-18 — born between April 6, 2006, and April 5, 2011 — from Davis, Weber and Morgan counties in Utah are invited to apply by submitting an online audition.
How to apply
Participants record their audition using a smartphone. Applicants should not submit a recording with digital manipulation (autotune or reverb, etc.), so those receiving the application can hear a natural, unaltered voice. They also want to see the applicant’s face in the recording.
In the video, applicants should:
- State full name.
- Sing the melody of the first verse of "Hymns" No. 66, “Rejoice, the Lord Is King!” Please sing a cappella (no accompaniment) as written in the hymnbook.
Rehearsal schedule
Attendance is required for all rehearsals and performances; those who miss one or more rehearsals may be moved to alternate status. The schedule is as follows:
- Sunday, Feb. 23, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
- Sunday, March 2, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
- Sunday, March 9, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
- Sunday, March 16, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

- Dress rehearsal Saturday, March 29, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
- Sunday, March 30, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
- General conference afternoon session, Saturday, April 5, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Additional requirements
Dress for choir members should be conservative in style and not detract from the message of the music. Vivid or bright hair colors (blue, purple, pink, etc.) are not allowed. Further details about the wardrobe guidelines and color schemes will be provided after acceptance to the choir.
All participants will be required to have their music memorized before the dress rehearsal. For some, this will mean more personal rehearsal time at home. Those who do not have music memorized at the dress rehearsal will be invited to be an alternate.
