If I want to join, what do I do?
You are welcome to come sit in on a rehearsal of the choir on Tuesday night. If you are in sitting in on a youth choir rehearsal, you can see how comfortable your are and after the rehearsal we will have a chance to talk. For the children's choir, parents are welcome to stay and observe the rehearsal and after we can talk. Your child can sit in on rehearsal or just watch, whichever they are more comfortable with.
Normally the children's choir is at 6:00pm and the youth choir is at 7:30pm. Currently though we are running shorter rehearsals to limit our time together, but still be able to rehearse. The children’s choir is from 6pm until 6:30pm and the youth choir is 6:45pm until 7:15pm.
Just show up a few minutes early to introduce yourself. There is a form below where you can tell us a bit about yourself so that we know you when you arrive. There are also printable choir applications below that you can download and bring with you.
There is a button to the left for a map to the location where we rehearse.
St. Andrew's United Church, 60 West Ave. St. Thomas
How much do each of the choirs cost?
The annual fee for the children's choir is $150.00 and for the youth choir is $300.00. If you are joining part way through the year, the fee will be reduced to reflect the portion of the year remaining.
Do I have to go on tour with the choir?
The youth choir tours every two years. (The children's choir does not.) We do encourage as many choir members as possible to go. It is an incredible experience that creates lasting memories for those who participate. All that being said, the tours are optional. You do not need to go on tour if you do not want to go.
If you have any further questions, you may use the form below or send an email to the choir director, Rob Cairns
