The sixth season of the Peace River Community Choir begins on September 17. As in past years, the first three rehearsals will allow newbies to experience singing in the choir without having to make a commitment to join the group. After that, we require a $150 membership fee. With 30+ rehearsals and performances in the season, this works out to less than $5.00 per night. The fee allows us to purchase new music, pay an honorarium to our director and accompanist, and meet operating expenses such as venue rental, entry fees for Festival and advertising costs. If you or someone you know would like to join the choir but can't pay the fee, please talk to Nicola (director), Sharlon (treasurer) or me (Joan) about having the fee waived or reduced.
We will continue our tradition of socializing at Smitty's Pub following the first rehearsal of each month. We will also hold our annual "Bring a Man to Choir Night" in order to keep the bass and tenor section strong. Last year, there were times when the women had to work to be heard over the glorious sounds from our male members. Let's keep it up!
This year, I will be offering Ultimate Music Theory classes for choir members or other adults in the community who wish to learn to read and write music. The Preliminary Rudiments Prep 1 course will be held Wednesdays, September 25 - October 30 from 7 - 9 pm, and the Preliminary Rudiments Prep 2 course will follow Wednesday evenings, November 6 to December 11. Feel free to share this poster with your friends. I will also be holding Recreational Music Making Keyboard Classes for Adults on Monday nights.
We have a great choir here in Peace River. Last year we sang for seniors and the community, challenged ourselves with Festival repertoire, and raised $471.70 for the SPCA. We welcome your comments, input and suggestions.
