AUDITIONS NORTH COAST MEN’S CHORUS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 AT 6:00 MASONIC TEMPLE 3615 EUCLID AVE. CLEVELAND, OH 44115 If you have ever wondered what it would be like to be up on the stage singing with the North Coast Men's Chorus, you will soon have the chance to find out! We are holding auditions for our next concert - /UNDER THE MISTLETOE/ - on Sunday, September 10 and 17 starting at 6:00! Please come and plan on staying for the entire rehearsal. /UNDER THE MISTLETOE/ will be presented at three concerts on Saturday, December 2 at 3:00 and 8:00 pm and on Sunday, December 3 at 3:00 pm at the beautiful Hanna Theatre at Playhouse Square! Now, don't let the word "audition" scare you. It's really easy. You'll meet with Rich Cole, Artistic Director, and he will have you sing some scales, match some pitches and determine what section of the chorus your voice is best suited for. It is a pretty painless process and you'll be on your way to performing on-stage with the Chorus! NCMC holds regular rehearsals every Sunday evening from 7:00pm-9:30pm, with rehearsals starting a little earlier when we get closer to concert. Singers are expected to arrive by 6:45pm to greet their friends and settle in so rehearsal can begin on time. We usually hold an off-site rehearsal on a Saturday afternoon close to the concert. Additional rehearsals are required of the dancers, but they all say that extra time is more fun than work. Rehearsals are held at the rehearsal studios in the Masonic Temple, 3615 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44115. If you have any questions, please www.ncmchorus.org[1] or send an email to membership(a)ncmchorus.org or call 216-556-0590. Links: ------ [1] http://www.ncmchorus.org/
