This is your invitation to be a part of the First United Methodist Church of Colorado Springs 2025 Lessons & Carols service with bells, choir, and orchestra. There are only 15 hours of rehearsal from the first retreat until we are in rehearsal with the orchestra. Therefore, every hour is precious rehearsal time we need together as a group. Rehearsals start promptly at 7:00pm. Please make every effort to attend all rehearsals even if it is a week you are only able to listen and are unable to sing. We rely on each other, which means every voice makes a difference. If you must miss a rehearsal, please communicate with me in advance. Excessive absences may result in you being asked not to sing. If you have questions, please complete the form and I will reply or call Doug at 719.471.8522 x111.
If Doug has not heard you sing before, you will need to do a short, no pressure audition by singing "Happy Birthday" and maybe part of a favorite hymn or worship song. Music reading ability is encouraged, but not a requirement.
Please write these dates down on your calendar before submitting your form.
