Welcome our new members to the PCS Family!

Several singers auditioned last night and we have more on Sunday. If you're singing this Monday, please find Janice or Chorale Rep, Kerry Darnall and we will introduce them to you so that you can help them feel welcome!

Hey Y'all,

We're looking for some help this Saturday in our Lentil Festival Booth. Do you have an hour or two to hang out with our awesome fellow arts organizations and promote PCS? Bring a friend and have some fun with it!

Invite a Friend
For our performance at the Clock, we will have only one rehearsal on Monday from 7:30-9:30. This rehearsal and performance are open to all singers* — no audition required! (Just vaccination!**)
It is not too late to invite singers to join us for the season***, so an experience rehearsing and performing with PCS may give them the confidence they need in order to sign up.
You are especially welcome to invite tenors and basses!
*If you bring a friend, please arrive by 7:00 so that we have plenty of time to check music out to them and view their vaccination cards.
**Please make sure that they are vaccinated and boosted before inviting them to sing.
Please make sure they know to bring their proof of vaccination and at least one booster.
***If your friend is interested in joining PCS, please share the Audition request form with them: https://forms.gle/cdGtJgUgRKgNoWdg9

Friday's at the Clock performance

Anything blue is free.
Anything yellow (closer to Bryan) requires AMP payment through an app that you download on your phone.
Anything with no color is free street parking (basically Campus St and Linden)
CARPOOLING is highly recommended.
Performance attire - note from Matt. For this outdoor performance:
wear bright colors on top.
Try to aim for solid colors if possible.
Short sleeve dress shirts, blouses, polo shirts are great.
Khakis or jeans are acceptable on the bottom.
This is not extremely formal.

The Gala listed on the Planning Schedule has been postponed. We will have the opportunity to sing for the Gladish Performing Arts fundraising kick off Gala sometime in the future.
