The College of Marin Community Chorus is an auditioned ensemble. Auditions will be held by the director at the first and second rehearsals. For the Fall semester, 2008, the first rehearsal will take place on Wednesday, August 20. Potential new members should come at 7:30 PM for an opening rehearsal, followed by auditions at 9 PM. There will also be some time for auditions between 7 and 7:30. Choristers are expected to demonstrate pleasant tone quality, accuracy of pitch, and basic sight reading ability. It is the general policy of the director to accept all who qualify, although he may start a wait list for some sections, if there is an imbalance. Continuing members are not required to re-audition, if their participation has been continuous.
The Community Chorus rehearses Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 10:00 PM, from late August through early December, and from late-January through mid May. Rehearsals are held in Room 72 of the Fine Arts Building on the Kentfield Campus.
