Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an age requirement?
We are an adult choir, all singers need to be age 18 or older. If you are younger & love to sing we can point you toward some youth ensembles in the area.
What's the cost?
Singers are asked to contribute dues toward our rehearsal costs, a fee of $45 per concert or $115 for a full season is requested. Singers may opt to print their music at home or purchase a packet of pre-printed music for $10.00 per concert. Additional expenses may include concert attire apparel.
If these costs present a hardship please, audition anyway. We turn no one away because of financial situation. Scholarship funds are available for all singers.
What kind of music do you sing?
We love jazz, pop, rock, Broadway .. you name it! Past performances have included everything from Cole Porter to Queen so we mean it when we say we love fun music. Most of our performances are done a cappella (without instrumental accompaniment) so it can be a bit challenging but the effect is amazing! Check out our sound here!
What's the time commitment?
Rehearsals are held on Mondays from 7:00 to 9:10 p.m. Occasional Thursday rehearsals are held as well for sectionals & concert prep. but these are scheduled in advance. Have a conflict? Just let us know, we can probably work with it.
Additionally, we do expect singers to review music & practice outside of rehearsal. Most of what we sing is a cappella & it's not easy but it is fun. Most singers put in 2 to 4 hours of outside practice each week. Our upcoming "Holiday Passport" performance will include a larger number of non-English pieces that may require additional practice time to become familiar with.
