Hey, this may sound like a lame question....but how do you count 32nd notes?  I'm trying out for PMEA in November and can't find how to count them in any of my books.  |

Two 32nd notes equals one 16th note. Four 32nd notes equals one eighth note. And eight 32nd notes equals one quarter note.
Depending on the time signature and tempo you'll want to subdivide by 16th notes or eighth notes.

I don't know of a vocal counting structure beyond 16th notes (one-y-and-a-two, etc), but I would recommend counting 32nds like a double-time 16th passage. I assume that's what you were asking about...

I have never heard of counting 32nd notes on syllables. I've only heard of counting 16th notes and placing two 32nds for each 16th.

Come to think of it, I've heard my band director count "one-y-and-a-one-y-and-a-two", etc. if there's a longish passage of 32nds.
