ACM Festival Choir

The ACM Festival Choir is a community vocal ensemble of adults that will perform in concert at the annual Church Music Symposium in Tacoma, Washington, on Friday evening, October 15, 2010.

In the Festival Choir you will:

  1. Meet other Christian musicians from the Puget Sound area

  2. Improve your singing through rehearsals and performance. The selected choral works will be challenging yet accessible to average music readers.

  3. Provide an evening of musical delight to the public

You will be asked to:

  1. Attend rehearsals. Three absences will be excused.

  2. Purchase from ACM all the music being performed (Cost: $20.00, tax included) and bring the music to each rehearsal. (If you already own the selected music, make sure your edition is the one being used by the Festival Choir.) You will be loaned a folio to hold your music during the concert.

  3. Dress as specified for the concert.
    Women: long black skirt, long-sleeved white blouse, black shoes. Black belt if a belt is worn.
