INTERESTED IN JOINING?
Anyone from the age of 13 to 103 can join!
You don't have to be able to read music, you don't have to have a trained voice, and you don't have to be a solo singer. As a matter of fact, it's best if your voice can blend in with everyone else's voice so that we have a balanced mix.
What we DO require is that you can sing in tune, you can sing in harmony with others, and you LOVE to sing!
REHEARSAL SPACE AND TIME:
We practice weekly, on Tuesday evenings, at St. Laurence Anglican Church in Coquitlam. The address of the church is 825 St. Laurence Street, Coquitlam - just off Como Lake Road.
**FOR FALL/WINTER 2023/24, we are rehearsing IN PERSON**
Rehearsals run from 7:30 - 9:00 pm. Typically we run from the second week of September, break for December, then resume in January and go until the end of May/first week of June. We have now shifted our concert timing slightly, with the first concert AFTER the December break, in late January/early February, and the second concert of the year still in late May/early June. Each term has 16 rehearsal sessions and a concert.
AUDITIONS:
An audition for the choir consists of meeting the director, and singing a song for him... any song you know, like Happy Birthday, Amazing Grace, O Canada, etc. That way he can hear your vocal range and place you in the section of the choir most appropriate for your voice. If you already know that you are a soprano, alto, tenor or bass, that's great but in case you are not sure, this is a good way for you to find out. The director will also sing some harmony along with you, as singing a simple vocal part in tune while someone close to you sings a different one is a primary musical skill needed to be a choral singer.
Auditions for the FALL/WINTER 2023/24 Term of the Coquitlam Celebration Choir will take place at the first rehearsal on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th, 2023 (either before or after the rehearsal). *New members can still join up until Tues Sept 26th*

$175 for the Fall/Winter term (16 rehearsals from Tuesday Sept 12 - Jan 23, with a break during December and our concert on Saturday January 27, 2024)
'*Anyone with financial concerns can speak confidentially with the director to arrange a modified payment scale
