Prospective Members
Auditions (required):
Our sections are quit evenly balanced, so we are auditioning only a limited number of new members at the beginning of January. We especially need basses. Since our songs are performed from memory (off-book), and we start the learning process in September, late starters will need to catch up what they have missed. To arrange for an audition, please email us at soundeclecticensemble@gmail.com.
Our Rehearsals:
• When - Tuesdays, 6:50-9:00pm, September - May. Sectional rehearsals are on Tuesdays from 9:00 - 9:30pm, on a rotational basis. For an overview of our 2019-2020 schedule and fees, click here.
• Where - Chown Memorial and Chinese United Church (CMCUC), 3519 Cambie Street, Vancouver. Enter through the door on 19th Avenue. Free parking is shown on this area map.
Fees: Our fees are $24 per scheduled rehearsal, payable in September, January, and March. We are a registered non-profit group operating on a limited budget. Fees include sheet music, pre-recorded practice tracks, and a performance night with a full band. Our fees also cover our co-directors' salaries, rehearsal space rental, insurance, fees for professional accompanists and band who attend our rehearsals before our spring gala show, and administrative costs (BC Societies Act registration, membership fees in ArtsBC and BC Choral Federation, website, etc.)
Music: All our sheet music and pre-recorded practice tracks for sectional parts are provided on our shared Google Drive.
Annual Retreat: We have an annual retreat at the delightful Edenvale Retreat and Conference Centre in February (all-day Saturday and Sunday morning). This retreat (which includes 3 workshops) is recommended, but not required.
