​

Application Process

​

Prospective TRS singers should contact us using our inquiry form to schedule your visit to a rehearsal.

A representative from the group should respond within 2 - 3 days.

​

Rehearsal Visits

​

Before being accepted into the group, all prospective members must visit between 2 - 3 rehearsals.

Please arrange your visits with the rehearsal manager.

​

Prospective members may not visit rehearsals more than 3 times in the same year.

​

Acceptance Process

​

After visiting 2 or 3 rehearsals, prospective members will meet with the choir's president to discuss their reasons for wanting to join to group and to undergo a simple voice part and skill check. No more than 4 visits may be had in a calendar year.

​​

Visits are hosted on a by-appointment basis and are only offered to singers who have completed and submitted a visitation inquiry.

​

Singers should be prepared to do the following:

​

• Discussion of reasons for joining and review of our choirs mission and goals.

• 2 - 3 warm-up exercises testing technique, range, and freedom of voice

​

This is not an audition but merely a way to determine which part within our choir best fits the singer's voice. It is also a way for us to become acquainted with your skill level and any support you might need.

​

Official Admittance to the Group

​

After the meeting, you will officially be accepted into the group.

The first two months of dues are free after this point. 

​

We look forward to having you join us!
