Rehearsals allow our members to improve and hone their skills to become better musicians and singer, as well as to learn music in preparation for concerts, performances on tour, community outreach concerts, and other musical events in which we participate. Rehearsals teach the singers basic music skills - how to read music, music theory and sight-reading - and help the singers improve vocally as an individual, as well as a choir member.Expenses $293,442 · grants $25,024 · revenue $302,743
