Payment Information

Dues for the chorus are $80 per term. Dues cover a small stipend for our director and accompanist, and music. If the full dues are not in your budget, pay what you can. Our chorus is for everyone who loves to sing together: staff, alumni, faculty, students, friends.

We will be collecting cash dues during the first few rehearsals. Please bring your dues in an envelope that includes your name and is labeled "for PSU Community Chorus". Bookkeeping of income and expenses will be supervised by your Advisory Committee. Unfortunately we will not be able to accept checks or credit cards at this time.
