Information about joining The Villages Pops Chorus, Inc.
The Villages Pops Chorus, Inc. performs 3 concerts a year in late March, Mid/Late June, and early December. We have about 165 people who have sung with us in the past and continue to sing with us, some of whom are available for all our concerts, and some are only available at certain times of the year. We have a maximum of 145 singers for each concert (the summer concert is usually less due to availability).
So, about a month before we start rehearsals for a concert, we ask our current singers and those who have sung with us before if they are available. From those responses, we start to fill out and balance the sections.
If we have openings after that process, we work from our waiting list and bring in people who have the most experience singing in a chorus or other group, and the ability to read choral music. We have found that people who have sung in choruses before often read better than they think they do. We have a simple audition process to verify voice range and reading ability, which would take place if we have openings for a given concert.
So the first step in joining our group is to be added to our waiting list. To be added, please send an email to info@thevillagespopschorusinc.com. Our Membership Committee Team Leader will respond with additional information and a form for you to complete and return.
