RESOURCES FOR PRACTICING

Information for links to use for practice:

Choral Tracks -- This is a great tool!

A link will be sent by email to members who participate in each concert.

As you look at the list of files available, I suggest that you start with "balanced voices" then move on to your own section's "predominant" track. Explore what is there and see what will work best for you.

And here is the link to the article "10 Ways to practice"

Information on Advertising, Donations & Publicity


We encourage all our members to actively seek opportunities to solicit advertisements from places with whom they do business. Often businesses are happy to place ads; they just need to be asked! The same holds true for distributing our beautiful, colorful flyers in local businesses. We depend on advertisers and you are our finest ambassadors!

Monetary donations and advertising opportunities are available by printing our Advertising or Donation form.

Dress Code for All Concerts

Women

Black skirt, long or at least ankle length (“tea length”) worn with a long-sleeved or at least ¾ length sleeve black top with a modest neckline and waistline. Or a one-piece black dress. NO  STRAIGHT  PANTS  OR  SLACKS, however, “palazzo pants” with broad, flowing legs, may be worn. No “see-through” materials, sparkles, spangles, or metallic threads.
Black shoes (athletic shoes are fine), recommend flat soled or low heeled for comfort. Black hose.
No significant jewelry (simple gold stud or pearl earrings or a small cross or pendant on a chain would be acceptable). Jewelry with excessive sparkle is very distracting when worn on stage.

Men

Black jacket, black pants. You may wear a black tuxedo, without a cumberbund.
White long-sleeved dress shirt, but no ruffled or pleated formal shirt; no studs or cufflinks. Red bow ties will be worn for the Christmas and Pops Concerts. (NOTE: Only a limited number of red bow ties are available to borrow for those gentlemen who may need one, so if you have one, please wear it.)  Black bow ties will be worn for the Masterworks Concert. Black shoes and black socks.

General Guidelines for Singers

Please do not use ANY perfume, cologne or after-shave, during rehearsals or especially during concerts.  The combination of various conflicting scents can often affect singers who are allergic and degrade the quality of the voice.  Likewise, be very conservative in the use of hair spray, soaps or other scented products, however, the use of an unscented deodorant is highly recommended!

Also, a black folder will be required to hold your music during the concert.  Please purchase a plain black folder of your preference.
