You're Welcome Any and Every Monday!
Find us Monday nights, from 7-9PM. Most nights we're in the Polk County Justice Center in Balsam Lake. Find this building at the west edge of town on the corner of 46 and County Road I. In September, we meet at the Amery High School in preparation for our annual show. For more information, please contact us at info@indianheadchorus.org or message us on Facebook.
Our members travel down from Webster, up from Osceola, in from Cumberland and Turtle Lake,
and even across the river from Minnesota. If you need a ride, we can do that.
For more information, please drop us a line.
- We typically do not meet between Christmas and New Year's Eve.
- In September we rehearse at Amery High School, venue of our fall concert.
- Meetings are very occasionally moved to a special location for a variety of reasons. We try to keep
that updated here. Otherwise check our
Facebook page.
We make an effort to post these changes to the public, but it never hurts to contact us first.
Auditions
Visit us as often as you like. After you have been to at least three rehearsals,
we invite you to try out to become an official member of the group.
Once you've decided to audition, we keep it short and sweet.
- Pick a song you feel comfortable with - if you're unsure we can help you choose.
You don't need to memorize, just learn your part confidently. Recordings are even
available to help you with this.
- When you're ready, you'll sing privately with some our Music Committee - this is the Director,
the Assistant Director and a few others. Often we do it just before or after rehearsal.
- You'll sing your song twice. First, with four other guys
one singer doubling your part. The second time you'll sing independently in a quartet.
- The Music Committee evaluates your performance.
We don't look for perfection, just the ability to sing pleasantly and expressively in tune.
You'll get feedback in just a few minutes.
- When you pass the audition, you'll get a Barbershop Harmony Society application,
The Music Committee recommends you to the chorus board, who approves your membership.
- In the event you don't pass the audition, we'll
help you understand what aspects of your performance were not strong enough,
and, more importantly, how to continue improving.
Directions
Our rehearsal space is located in the
Justice Center at Polk County
plaza. Find us at the Southwest corner of Hwy 46 and County Road I in Balsam Lake.
We meet in the Conference Room just off the main lobby. To the left as you enter.
Please note: This is not the large gray complex to the northeast of the Highway. That's the Government Center. The rehearsal facility is diagonally across the intersection.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Thanks for visiting!
