FAQ:
What if I need to miss a rehearsal?
Let us know. If you need to miss more than three rehearsals, please consider waiting until another season when you're able to more consistently hold the space with your singing partners.
How much are dues for the season?
They're $85 per person, per season to support the work of the facilitators and give back to our rehearsal space.
What if dues aren't "do-able" for me?
Please sing with us anyway! We have scholarships and sliding scales available. We do not want funds to be the reason that anyone is unable to sing with us. Just reach out to liftthespiritcville@gmail.com to let us know.
