Our chorus is put together from people of all ages and walks of life and offers a supportive environment to enjoy and extend your singing and performance talents.  

We sing four part harmony, a cappella (without accompaniment) and we have a varied repertoire with both modern and traditional Barbershop songs.  The four parts from high to low are Tenor, Lead, Baritone and Bass. The Tenors range from Eb above middle C to C 2 octaves above middle C. The Bass part ranges from Bb above middle C to Db below middle C (some can go lower, but our music rarely visits there).  

Auditions

When you arrive, we will voice place you, and you will join us on the risers from Day 1, or you can sit out and watch to see if this tickles your fancy.  We are an auditioned chorus, and you will be given several weeks, and plenty of coaching and support to get through the audition, which is done in small group formation in private.

Membership Fees

To help cover costs from music and venue hire through to costumes and coaches, subs are payable. We will discuss the best way for you to pay based on what is comfortable for you - whether it be monthly or annually.

Fundraising

Members are invited to help boost funds by taking part in a variety of fundraising efforts.  All members are at liberty to choose which projects they will get involved in, depending on their time, circumstances and interests.

Rehearsals

We rehearse Tuesdays, from 7:15-9.30pm and guests are welcome at all rehearsals. Most of the chorus arrive around 7pm to set up the venue, as well as catch up with each other.

Come and visit us! Just drop by or send an email to our Membership Coordinator, and let us know you'd like to attend a rehearsal.

Feel free to ask any other questions you may have, too.

Alternatively you can contact us through Facebook.
