Is prior choral experience required?

No! We will teach you everything you need to know. Ability to read music is not required. 

Is there a cost to join?

Once you've become a member, members are asked to pay monthly dues, and occasional extra expenses for costumes and accessories may arise. We strive to make participating in the chorus available to everyone.
