REHEARSALS ARE THE PRIMARY FOCUS OF THE ORGANIZATION, PROVIDING MUSIC INSTRUCTION TO SINGERS AGED FOUR THROUGH ADULT. REHEARSALS ALLOW OUR MEMBERS TO IMPROVE AND HONE THEIR SKILLS TO BECOME BETTER MUSICIANS AND SIGNERS, AS WELL AS TO LEARN MUSIC IN PREPARATION FOR CONCERTS, PERFORMANCES ON TOUR, COMMUNITY OUTREACH CONCERTS, AND OTHER MUSICAL EVENTS IN WHICH WE PARTICIPATE. REHEARSALS TEACH THE SINGERS MUSIC SKILLS, HOW TO READ MUSIC, MUSIC THEORY AND SIGHT-READING, AND HELP THE SINGERS IMPROVE VOCALLY AS AN INDIVIDUAL, AS WELL AS A CHOIR MEMBER. FOR THE 2020-2021 SEASON, ALL OUR REHEARSALS WERE VIRTUAL.
DUE TO THE PANDEMIC WE DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN A TOUR OR ANY RETREATS THIS YEAR. DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, WE WERE FORCED TO CANCEL IN PERSON CONCERTS FOR THE SEASON, HOWEVER, OUR SINGERS DID PREPARE PROGRAMS AND RECORDED THEIR PARTS TO PROVIDE A VIRTUAL PERFORMANCE.
