Rehearsals: Mondays 7:30-9:30pm at Church of the Redeemer (162 Bloor St. W) and occasional Sunday afternoons

Performances: 1-2 concerts with full rock band, plus additional performance opportunities throughout the year

Repertoire: Various pop and rock arrangements spanning decades and styles with a focus on Canadian content

New Members: "Vocal assessments for our 2024/25 season will be continually scheduled over the course of the summer after our May 25 concert, "Women Who Rock" at Koerner Hall

Vocal Assessments: You will be asked to sing a verse and chorus of a song, do a range test to determine your section and possibly do a few vocal exercises in an assessment with our Artistic Director, Scott Pietrangelo, over Zoom.
