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 2020, we are rehearsing via Zoom Meetings, from 7:30-8:30 with some social time both before and after**
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.
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 2020 Term of the Coquitlam Celebration Choir will take place at the first rehearsal on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2020(either before or after the rehearsal). *New members can still join up until Tues Sept 22*
Please contact us here if you have any questions: coquitlamcelebrationchoir@gmail.com
FEES*:
Fees for joining the choir are:
$125 for the Fall term (12 weeks of rehearsals Sept 15 - Dec 1; no concert this year)
$175 for the Spring term (20 weeks of rehearsals, plus concert TBA)
'*Anyone with financial concerns can speak confidentially with the director to arrange a modified payment scale
