Just finding our page on a Tuesday? No worries we'll see you at rehearsal and we'll capture tet information there.
We rehearse on Tuesday nights in Chesapeake, VA (535 Independence Pkwy Suite 700
Chesapeake VA, 23320 (TQI Solutions, Battlefield Corporate Center))
We welcome women from every age group and occupation, offering opportunities to excel in musical competitions and local performances. In addition to the opportunity to sing and join us in competitions, the chorus extends to its members unique and wide-ranging opportunities for education and expeirence in areas such as directing, music arranging, judging, choreography, show production, administration and leadership skills.
The very first night you will be voice placed and given the opportunity to stand on the risers and ring those barbershop chords - a truly unforgettable experience!
To quote one of our members: "It's the love of singing that brought me to Virginia Coast Chorus. It's the fun, enthusiasm and lasting friendships that keep me returning week after week. I love it!"
Notes for your visit:
- Bring a bottle of water - vocal chords need hydration for optimum vocal production and wear casual clothing and comfortable shoes - you will be standing on the risers for most of the evening.
- Layers are a good idea, as well
- Please avoid arriving with perfume or other scented products. Scents can come in many forms - perfume, hair products, deodorant, and fabric softener to name a few. We have members in our chorus whose health are impacted by scents; all that deep breathing we do means every breath that comes into our bodies includes all the scents around us.
- We start promptly at 6:45 pm with warm-ups. Then performance practice which will vary depending on the chorus' upcoming event plans. There will be a short business meeting. Rehearsal is over before 10 pm
If this sounds like something you have been missing in your life, the first thing to do is reach out to us or show up to our rehearsals. Come have fun with us! We cannot wait to hear your voice on the risers!!
