We are Excited to inform you that The Festival Chorus has begun rehearsals this fall.
Our first rehearsal was August 23, 2021!!!
At this time, we are rehearsing at Harper College in Building J Theatre. It is large enough for social distancing. If you're not sure where it is, please look at a Harper College Campus map for direction.
Rehearsal begins at 7:30 pm.
The college is not requiring vaccinations, so we will not require them. They do say that the musical groups must wear a singing mask which we will have available for purchase at registration. The Singer's Mask was developed by Broadway professionals to allow space around the mouth to sing comfortably.
Here is a link to recordings to help you learn the songs.
