If you love to sing, we would love to hear from you!
What should I do next?
Should you have any further questions or would like to give us an informal try, please email our Membership Secretary. Alternatively you can complete and send our Membership Details Form and we will contact you to arrange your start date. Please note that aside from at rehearsals, our main method of communication with the choir is via email and our website.
Why not come and give us a try?
You're welcome to attend some rehearsals at any time & try us out! Our season runs roughly with the school year, with three projects a year starting September, January and May. You would normally try us out at the start of a project, but there's no restrictions!
Some experience of reading music & singing in parts would be helpful, but a variety of learning aids are available if needed. You can meet informally with the Musical Director to agree your voice type and discuss any support you feel you might need. We don't hold auditions. We take the music seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously! We wear name tags each rehearsal, so you'll never have to remember anyone's name, & we aim to have a lot of fun along the way!
Rehearsals
These are held on Tuesdays at Temple Methodist Hall from 7.30 – 9.30pm with a half time break for tea, cake and conversation! There is plenty of street parking and car parks nearby. Please remember to complete the attendance register when you arrive and inform us about planned absences. A final rehearsal with orchestra and soloists is held on the afternoon of the concert at the venue.
Subscriptions
The annual subscription is £120 for three terms/(£10 for students), paid at the beginning of September. This includes the cost of music hire. If this would be a problem for you, please speak to our Treasurer in confidence. We always do our best to help. You will see from our Contact details form that we encourage all members who are eligible to GiftAid their subscription to help boost our finances.
