Auditions at the start of every semester open to all MIT community members.
Membership
MIT LIVE is open to all MIT community members. Instrumentalists, vocalists, songwriters, producers, and audio visual/lighting tech are all welcome.
Auditions for instrumentalists and vocalists are held at the start of every semester. Prepare 1-2 minutes of any song you choose.
NOTE: If auditioning on multiple instruments, you may choose to sign up for multiple slots or perform multiple at the same time (for example, singing and playing guitar simultaneously). Instruments are available to borrow for your audition if needed.
Those interested in other roles should email us and set up a meeting!
You'll be placed in a band based on the semester's setlist (voted on by the club), rehearse with your bandmates throughout the semester, and perform at our end-of-semester showcase.
Members may also join gig band (via an additional internal audition) and record YouTube covers.
In order to retain active membership status, members must participate in club activities (showcase performance, gig band performance, recorded cover) at least once over the course of 2 semesters. Members who take a break exceeding one semester are considered "inactive" and must reaudition.
Why MIT LIVE?
Perform live at our end-of-semester showcase for the MIT community.
Play at MIT events with our gig band and record YouTube covers.
Social events, jam sessions, and band bonding!
