Auditions – Frequently Asked Questions

What’s up with the Name?  ‘Two Weeks Notice’ was a joke in reference to our professional jobs and the desire to move on, but alas the name grew on us, and here we are, all still working full time jobs, and singing together for fun!

Where/When are we rehearsing? Our rehearsals are EVERY Sunday Night from 7-9 @ Northwest Unitarian Universalist Church in Southfield, Michigan. 23925 Northwestern Highway, Southfield, Michigan 48075-2547, located on the corner of Mapleridge (named Mount Vernon on the other side of Northwestern) and Northwestern Highway, near the M-10 / M-39 / 9 Mile Road interchange.

What is required to be a member of 2WN? BE ACCOUNTABLE, for your music, your commitment, etc! Additionally, strong musicianship skills are required to be a part of Two Weeks Notice to maintain the integrity of the music. Reading music is STRONGLY preferred, as well as good pitch, blend, stage presence and the ability to sing solos and be an ensemble member.

If my audition goes well, what would be my personal commitment to 2WN as a member?
