Some Items to Note ... aka .. the small print

• You are not required to read music but it is helpful to recognize some of the common symbols
• Our members commit to attending weekly rehearsals and to practice between rehearsals
• Our members pay a small monthly fee to assist in paying for our facilities, coaches, our director and our membership in Sweet Adelines International
• We are expected to learn our music quickly and thoroughly – we do not hold music on the risers so we must know our notes and words
• During the time of virtual rehearsals, we are providing many opportunities for learning as well as singing in virtual choirs, small groups & quartets
• There is a visual component to our performance and sometimes complex choreography
• There are many local workshops covering topics ranging from breath control to choreography to showmanship to arranging and directing available to our members. Each February we have a private chorus retreat with an outside director/coach - an entire weekend full of learning & fun!
