Form A Girl Group

When figuring out form a girl group, decide on the specifics first. Before the fun, fame and fortune you need to put forth a little effort in finding the right people to join your singing ensemble or band. Taking time in auditioning as many people as you can before making any final decisions will ensure that you weigh all your options first.


Instructions


Before the Auditions


1. Choose whether you want just a pop singing ensemble or a whole rock band. Decide what kind of music you plan on performing, as well as how many members you need to carry out your goals.


2. Decide when to hold auditions.


3. Create flyers to hang up at school and around town advertising the date, time and place of your auditions. Be very specific about what you need. (You don't want a bunch of guitar players showing up if you just need a drummer or keyboard artist.) Make sure to include your contact information if they need more information or directions.


At the Auditions


4. Buy a notebook for the big day. (Keeping detailed records is an important step of forming a girl group.) Mark down everyone's name and number individually as they come in, as well as their particular skill.


5. Take notes as they perform for you. This not only includes their skill level but also mark down who you feel would work well together.


6. Ask everyone what their schedules are like for practice and if they will be able to have time to perform in public when you get gigs.


7. Shake their hands and tell them a time frame you will be able to get back to them. Be professional because even if someone isn't your first choice, you never know when you might need a backup in the future.


After the Auditions


8. Take time to go over all your notes before making any final decisions. After deciding, call everyone back (those that made it and those that didn't) to let them know the news.


9. Plan your first practice. At the initial get-together, have more of a meeting session. Sit down with everyone and plan practice dates, songs, outfits and all of the other fun stuff that goes with starting on the road to becoming famous.


10. Have fun! After figuring out form a girl group, all that's left is the singing, dancing and fun. Good luck!
