A mixed formation can improve blend and intonation. A formation in parts is good for learning and clarifies the polyphony. These rehearsals may be led by the director, accompanist, or a student conductor. This is a great opportunity for you to get better acquainted with others singing your part. Members are selected for their outstanding vocal ability and general musicianship.
Repertory is, for the most part, a cappella, with an emphasis on contemporary music.
Solo opportunities Student soloists are chosen as required by the repertory, usually by open audition. In this instance everyone interested gathers on stage, we review the passage all together, then each singer sings individually, sometimes only a short excerpt. When many singers are interested in a particular solo, this process may seem like a bit like a cattle-call, but over the years the system has proven relatively fair and efficient.

This money can be donated to the Choral Music Fund or used for some immediate purpose.
