Starting Thursday, October 14, our rehearsals will be 95% holiday music.  However, holiday-only singers are invited to collect music before that, and attend any rehearsals before October 14.  We will likely be starting on some holiday songs before October 14, and in any event, you may find that you like singing some of our regular repertoire!  For experienced a cappella singers, there are quartetting opportunities as well!<br />

&#8211; We typically sing for 900-1,000 people<br />
&#8211; We make a point of singing for many people who are unable to get out and about during the holidays<br />
&#8211; We help many local organizations with their holiday endeavors<br />
&#8211; Many local a cappella singers (or wannabes) have joined us for the holidays &#8212; it&#8217;s a great opportunity to sing, and to meet fellow singers<br />
&#8211; The new a cappella songs that we add each year have been a hit everywhere we perform </p>
<p>We get many, many compliments and notes of appreciation.  Thanks!  And see you this December!  </p></blockquote>
