"Singing doesn’t just make us feel better – it makes us better people. By singing in a group, we choose to recede for a moment from selfish concerns and pursue harmony with those around us."
Membership

Terms
The Fall term starts in September and the Spring term starts in January of each year. We perform a Christmas concert at St. George's United Church, usually two shows and one Spring show in May usually at the Sid Williams Theatre. We also have a one day workshop per term and occasionally perform in local festivals or for benefit concerts.
Voice Placement
All new members will meet with the musical director for a group session to determine voice placement after the first rehearsal of each term. This is very brief and is to determine which section of the choir is best for your voice range.
Attendance
Please be present and on time for all rehearsals, sectionals, and performances. If you need to miss an occasional rehearsal please inform your section leader. Please discuss plans for extended absences with section leader or musical director. Do not attend rehearsal if you are ill. Rehearsals will be recorded for future viewing.
Commitment
To prepare for performances, we ask our members to attend regularly scheduled sectional rehearsals and to practice, at home. Workshops will also be scheduled and are highly recommended. To assist learning there are practice tracks, audio-video song samples and weekly rehearsal plans available on the website.
Registration
All returning and new members must register through the website prior to the first rehearsal of the start of term. Early registration will help us prepare more efficiently for the term. You will receive a web password at the first rehearsal which will give you access to the members only area of this website where you will find more helpful tools and information.
To register GO TO THE JOIN tab drop down menu and complete the form.
Dues
Dues are set by the board and are collected by the section leaders at the beginning of each term. If Dues are a hardship and in order to be inclusive, alternative financial arrangements may be discussed with your section leader. All inquiries are confidential. CS & GN choirs - Dues: $130, MoN will be $80.
