The Choir performs concerts each semester and also sings at Remembrance Day ceremonies, convocation ceremonies, and oTher events on campus and in The community. We are a volunteer, non-auditioned group open to all, but Choir members are expected to regularly attend rehearsals and The semester retreat, and to practice Their parts on Their own time. We usually put up practice files under “Resources” (members-only access) so that you can download your part and listen to it on whatever portable music-playing device you own. No musical experience is needed, but The ability to read music is an asset (if you can't read music, we'll help you learn).  less
