Hello Past, Present and Future Q City Singers members!
As we draw nearer to August (and the final countdown begins to our season start on September 12th), the Board is shifting focus to recruitment. With this comes a couple of very important announcements we would like to share with you.Since our last update, we have learned that Ingrid Wenzel will not be returning as the conductor in September. The Board will begin actively searching for a new conductor right away - and we appreciate any leads you may be able to provide! If you know of anyone in the community who has conducting experience and is interested in leading our choir, please contact us right away by email ([email protected]), through our Facebook page, or through the contact information on our website. Over the month of August, we will begin advertising for new members to join us for the new season - particularly in the tenor and bass sections (but as always, everyone is welcome). Bring your friends with you to our first rehearsal! We are also specifically looking for at least two young singers between the ages of 16-18 to join our choir; thanks to the River City Music Association, we were given a grant that will help us sponsor their memberships for the season. We will be working hard to get the word out around town over the next few weeks - and we need your help!!

Hello Past, Present and Future Q City Singers members! Your new Board of Directors has been busy meeting almost weekly since our general meeting to bring to fruition many organizational changes based on the suggestions from the Member Surveys that were filled out in May. First of all, we would like to thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and comments about last season; they have provided us with valuable insight, and we are actively working to implement your suggestions! Instead of waiting until September, we wanted to fill you in on a few new items to get you excited about the new choir season! Our New Website The board temporarily lost access to our old website in early June, so instead of waiting, we have created a new user-friendly one! Please check it out. It currently reflects some information from our past season, but will give all a good idea how we will share information for the upcoming season. I will continue to update it on a regular basis before our first practice in September, so please check back. www.qcitysingers.com New Email Addresses We have created two new email accounts to ensure that we don’t miss your messages! As an added bonus, the new emails belong to the choir rather than individuals, so when the Board transitions each year, you won’t have to gather new contact information to get in touch with the Board of Directors.
Rehearsal ScheduleWe will plan and set out the rehearsal, extra practice and concert schedules for the entire season this summer, ready to provide to you during registration in September! Although there may be the occasional optional rehearsal offered throughout the season, you will know at the beginning what the formal commitments are for the year. Additionally, monthly rehearsal schedules will be published to help you plan your at-home practice time more efficiently. RecruitmentThanks to the River City Music Association, we were given a grant that will help us sponsor two young singers between the ages of 16 and 18 who want to join Q City Singers for the 2017-2018 season. If you know of any interested young singers, please tell them to contact us on our Facebook Page or by Email. Bursaries may be available! Please spread the word! Towards the end of the summer, we will be setting up a table at the Farmer's Market to share information about our choir and recruit new members. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for details on dates once they are booked! Volunteers are welcome, or feel free to come on by and say hi. Contact us if you’re interested in helping out :) That's about it for now, but it sure feels great to get organized! We hope you all remain safe and secure throughout the wildfire season, and have a chance to enjoy some well-deserved R&R this summer.
