Rehearsals/Concerts 2007-2008

The rehearsal schedule for Chorale is designed to accommodate students' curricular obligations without compromising the quality of the Chorale's performances; even students with heavy course loads find they can fully participate in Chorale. The full commitment, for most weeks of the semester, is only a maximum of four hours per week (and is usually somewhat less). Students also find that singing is a relaxing and rewarding outlet for personal expression, especially after the demands of a rigorous academic day.

Rehearsals take place each week of the semester (beginning in the second week) in Given auditorium in the Bixler building, on the following schedule:

  • Monday afternoon, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Tenors and Basses only
  • Tuesday afternoon, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Sopranos and Altos only
  • Thursday afternoon, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Full Chorale
