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.
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 SPRING 2018 Term of the Coquitlam Celebration Choir will take place at the first rehearsal on TUESDAY, JANUARY 2nd, 2018 (either before or after the rehearsal).
