AUDITION (Don’t worry, be happy!) It’s easy! Call Dr. Shaw at 541-488-5637 and sing a song as simple as “Amazing Grace” or “Happy Birthday.” You’re also welcome to come check us out at a rehearsal.

PARKING There are plenty of spaces in the South Mountain Avenue lot across the street from the Music Building. Parking is paid by JSCC for Rehearsal nights and Concert day and evening. REHEARSAL EXPECTATIONS You don’t have to be an excellent music reader. “Ear" people catch up with “Readers" by week three. In addition to sheet music, choir members receive part-specific rehearsal recordings that ease the learning process. The Coalition is a safe place, -- no one will ever laugh at you for trying. It is an atmosphere in which we share with one another, never compete with one another. Many singers have discovered talent they didn’t know they had. Come in ready to grow musically, discover something about yourself, and join the family. PERFORMANCE DAY The Saturday of our performances is a FULL day! The Run-through call is at 12:00 noon on stage. There will be very little time between the end of the Run-through and the 3:00 PM show. A dinner break precedes the 7:30 PM show. PERFORMANCE ATTIRE . . . is a professional look with a dash of color.
