Choir “Auditions.” If, after attending a rehearsal, you're interested in joining the choir, the choir's director will chat with you. Often, participation in a few rehearsals is “audition-enough,” or, if required, the director may have you sing a few selections privately! No need to be intimidated!
We believe that everyone has a voice, and we're excited to hear yours! Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions. We look forward to welcoming you to our choir family!
