The Chorale is open to all without formal auditions. However, those wishing to sing with the ensemble must possess a VERY GOOD ear for pitch. Each prospective member will be tested for range, pitch recall (three to five notes played and then sung back by the singer), and sight reading. Sight reading is not a requirement for admittance into the ensemble, but is a plus. Prior choral experience is not required but would be very helpful.

The chorale gives several performances each semester, both on and off campus. Ensemble members should be aware that they will be required to participate in all rehearsals and performances, some of which may be outide regular meeting times.

Rehearsals are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11-12:15
