We're glad you're thinking of stopping by. On your first visit, you can always just listen. But if you're ready to give us a try, here's what you can expect at your first rehearsal:
- A big, warm welcome!
- You'll register with our Membership Chair, so we can properly introduce you to the group.
- Voice placement: We'll listen to you sing briefly (don't be nervous), in order to determine which vocal part best suits you. On the risers, you'll stand close to members who sing the same part, to make it easier to follow along.
- After you've been with us for a while and it's clear that Great Lake Sound is the right fit for you, we'll start talking about the audition process.
- The audition process is tailored to fit each individual. We'll match you with a practice quartet and, when you and the quartet feel you're ready, you can audition. Auditions will be held in a secluded room with you, the practice quartet, your section leader, and the Director.
Every member is expected to regularly attend and participate in rehearsals, events and competitions.
While it isn't required, we hope everyone will volunteer in some capacity, whether it's helping set up for events, sell tickets, recruit new members or any of the many ways we keep GLS going strong.
More than anything else, however, we expect you to have fun and enjoy making fantastic music just as much as we do!
We hold rehearsals every Tuesday evening at 6:30 p.m. in Valparaiso, IN. Please contact us at glschorus@gmail.com to request the location and details. We can't wait to see you there!
Guests are always welcome at our rehearsals!
Please contact us to let us know you're coming, so we can keep an eye out for you!
