We will be canceling the next three rehearsals (March 16, 23, and 30) due to COVID-19 concerns. We will plan to reevaluate the situation at that time.
During this anxiety ridden time, don't forget to let music sooth your soul and keep the melody ringing in your heart!

In preparation for our annual show we’ve been learning new songs about friendship. A great way we’ve found to nurture intra-chorus friendships is through our annual potluck rehearsal.

And we had a fun rehearsal!

We've had retreats as short as 6 hours on a Saturday, to a full overnight weekend retreat at a hotel, to what we did this year, which was a full day event at Rockville Senior Center. We started with breakfast and COFFEE together, then a coaching session with the fantastic SAI Region 19 coach, Sarah Nainan-Newhard, bass of the Region 19 2018 champion quartet, Sound Design (
