Rain Coast Choir

FALL 2024 SEASON

HOW TO REGISTER


The Fall Season will start on Wednesday, September 11th at 411 Seniors Centre Society (3502 Fraser St).

Rehearsals will take place on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 - 9:00pm

We will host a Rain Coast Choir Open Mic on Wednesday, October 9th.

We will finish our season with a wonderful performance where we will share songs with our friends and families. We are in the process of confirming the plans for our show, and we are strongly considering the possibility of doing two performances this season - an evening and a matinee show. Members are asked to reserve December 7th and 8th until we solidify our show plans.

Spotlight Showcase

This season we are thrilled to be bringing back our popular "Spotlight" program!

This is a wonderful opportunity for members to step into the spotlight and perform solo or small group ensemble pieces of their choosing at our end-of-season showcase. We're excited to showcase our talented Songbirds, and to provide a chance to share your passion with a loving and appreciative audience.

If you are a musician, songwriter with a story to tell, or would just like to get together with a few fellow Songbirds and prepare something special to sing, this will be your chance to shine!

Spotlight songs will be selected through a live audition process, which will take place in late-summer leading up to the season. Learn more and sign up to be a Spotlight candidate here.


Step 1

Complete the Registration Form

  • Indicate your preferred section and let us know about your vocal and musical goals, interests and challenges.

    • We will be limiting the number of singers in each section to create a balanced choir blend. If your preferred section is not available, we encourage you to try one section higher or lower for a challenge!

  • Agree to the Rain Coast Choir Terms and Conditions in order to complete registration.

  • Visit our FAQ page If you have questions or concerns regarding our Terms and Conditions.

Step 3

Get Ready to Sing!

Get to know the songs we’ll be singing this season. The more prepared we can be, the more songs we can sing!

  • You will receive a playlist of this season’s songs as soon as you register. We recommend listening to these songs a bunch! This will help you get a feel for the melody (which provides great context for understanding and memorizing harmonies), the style, and energy of the songs.

  • Singers are encouraged to learn their parts to the songs on their own to the best of their ability.

  • You will receive practice tracks and lyrics shortly before the season starts to help you get a head start on some of the songs.

Consider participating in our Spotlight program.

If you are interested in performing a solo or small ensemble piece at the end-of-season showcase, start considering your song choice. Auditions will be held in late summer, more details coming soon!

To ensure that you receive important emails, add the following addresses to your contacts or safe-senders list:

  • joline@raincoastchoir.com

  • sing@raincoastchoir.com
