FAQs

I’ve Been Thinking Of Joining. What Do I Do First?

If you are interested in becoming a member of the choir, you must come to a rehearsal. Choir rehearsals are usually held on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the church. Once a month, there is an extra three hour rehearsal typically held on a Saturday morning.

When Can I Actually Start Singing with the Choir?

Before you can sing as a member of the choir, you need to:

1. Attend three or more weekly Chancel Choir rehearsals
2. Attend one or more worship services as a member of the congregation
3. Audition with the Music Director

To Join Do I Have To Audition?

At your first rehearsal, you have an opportunity to arrange a time for your audition with the Musical Director. An audition is a brief evaluation of your singing style and ability. Singing with the choir is at the discretion of the Music Director

If I Decide to Join What Is Expected of Me?

As a choir member, you are expected to:

1. Arrive on time for rehearsals
2. Bring your music and a pencil to every rehearsal
3. Alert your section leader if you can not attend a rehearsal
4. Attend the extra 8:00 am Sunday rehearsal and 9:00 am service at least once a month or when requested by the Music Director

Are There Any Times When The Time Committment Is Greater?

Choir responsibilities shift relative to certain times of the year (Lent, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Black History Month, the summer months). Special instructions for those times are provided by the Music Director

Does Every Choir Member Get A Gown and How?

On the morning of your first service singing in the choir, you will be assigned a gown. Ask for your section leader for help with this at the Thursday rehearsal. The Choir Gown Coordinator will assign you a temporary or permanent choir gown.

I Am Still Not Sure How Do I Get More Information?

Come to a rehearsal and speak to Music Director Diane Leah after service. Contact The Choir Secretary.
