This choir is composed of members of all other choirs,
plus those who are unable to make a long-term commitment, as well as
community members. There are no auditions for this wonderful choir.
Rehearsals begin mid-September and continue until the performance, which
is traditionally the second Sunday in December. Rehearsals are on Sunday
evenings from 5:00-6:30 p.m. this choir is especially fun, because the
