If you have ever known the pleasure of singing in a church choir, or in high school or college groups, you can find it again by singing in Solano Choral Society. If you like to sing, but are not sure how your voice would fit in, just give it a try and find out.
Fall 2010 rehearsals begin Tuesday August 17, 2010. Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings, 7-10 pm, in Room 1239 at Solano Community College, 4000 Suisun Valley Road, Fairfield.
Each fall and spring semester a new season begins and culminates with two performances of the season's program. Registration can take place at the first rehearsal (last Tuesday of August and January). Concerts are scheduled for December and May. Required skills are the ability to sing on pitch with a pleasant blending quality, the ability to learn and carry a choral part, and an enthusiasm for singing.
Registering
Advance registration is strongly encouraged, but if you don't pre-register you can register at the first class meeting. Whether you are pre-registered or not, you will need to pay for parking (a semester parking permit for on-campus parking is available at a reduced rate compared to daily permits) and materials within the first two meetings (cash or checks accepted). Materials/music fees vary depending on the pieces being performed.
There are two options for registration; the first option (standard academic enrollment in Music 20, 24, or 25) is preferred if possible, because a minimum enrollment is required by the College to prevent class cancellation. The second option (Community Education Program class registration) is available for those who are unable to register in the academic class.
In addition to registration, a performance fee of $10 is required to cover the cost of music and practice CDs.
