The Winkleigh Singers
CURRENT VACANCIES
The Winkleigh singers currently have vacancies in all four parts.
REHEARSALS
We rehearse in Winkleigh on
Monday evenings from 8.00pm until 10.00pm except public holidays, the time between our Christmas concert and New Year’s Day and the month of August.
Members are expected to commit to all rehearsals, but we appreciate that this is not always possible – therefore, we require members to attend 80% of rehearsals. The rehearsals immediately prior to a concert are obligatory. There is also the expectation that members work on their music scores at home to minimise time spent learning notes at rehearsals – this helps to avoid too much repetition during rehearsals and makes time to put a real ‘polish’ on the music.
CONCERTS
We usually give three major concerts each year, one in Winkleigh just before Christmas and the two others usually being in Torrington (late March/early April) and Barnstaple (July). These concerts are well established and attract good audiences.
AUDITIONS POLICY
There is no audition but a good standard of sight-reading and tuning, a pleasant voice with the ability to blend, and a positive attitude towards creating high quality music is required. Prospective members are warmly invited to join us for a three week trial period and, if everyone's happy, membership is then confirmed.
MEMBERSHIP
The annual subscription (September to July inclusive at 2009/10 rates) for full membership is extremely good value at £40.00 or £15.00 for each “term” (for full time students and under 21s there is no charge for membership).
