In order to allow more people to participate in the Halfway Choir, we are excited to offer short term choir opportunities throughout the year. Choir opportunities will vary in time, length, and commitment. Some opportunities may be for a season, like Christmas or Easter, and some may be only for one or two rehearsals. Choir opportunities will also vary in participants. Some may be mixed choir, some may be women’s choir, and some may be multigenerational–open to all ages. Some may be instrumental or mixed vocal and instrumental opportunities. Skill level will also vary so that even those with no choir experience will feel comfortable participating. You can choose to participate in just one opportunity or all of them- it is completely up to you! We hope that this new program will allow more people to share their musical gifts with Halfway Creek Lutheran.
