Membership Information - Join Us!
Loveland Choral Society was established in 1978, and has grown to become an accomplished eclectic choral and performance ensemble capable of performing a wide range of choral genres. LCS is a volunteer community chorus whose members come from many diverse backgrounds. The group is comprised of both trained and non-trained singers, all who enjoy the thrill of making music.
Membership is open to interested singers, high school age and above, who possess basic vocal skills necessary to learn and perform multi-part choral music. New members are invited to join at the start of each concert cycle: in August for the fall concert, in October for the Christmas concert, and in January for the spring production. Formal auditions are held in January for the spring production only.
Sing with us! Rehearsals for our Christmas concerts start Monday October 7th and new singers are accepted through Monday October 14th.
Registration begins at 6:15 on the 7th and rehearsal begins at 7:00pm.

Please email us at loveland.choral.society@gmail.com to let us know that you are coming so that we can have music for you. Also, email us to join our mailing list to get notifications or if you have questions! We look forward to singing with you!
Regular rehearsals are Mondays at New Freedom Outreach Center in Berthoud, beginning at 7:00 PM and ending at 9:30 PM. Sectionals will be scheduled during the fall and Christmas concert series. During tech/production week prior to concerts, expect mandatory rehearsals every evening. Members are to show kindness, respect, and courtesy to fellow members, recognizing each to be a unique individual with differing talents and abilities.
Attendance: LCS members are dedicated singers and are expected to attend all regularly weekly rehearsals. Attendance at extra practices is strongly encouraged but not mandatory. All singers must inform their section leaders of any absence. Excessive absenteeism can result in non-participation in the concerts. The final decision will be made by the section leader and the artistic director. Attendance at a sectional rehearsal may make up for missing a regular rehearsal. Expect that tech/production week and dress rehearsals are mandatory.
Dues: Members pay dues as established by the board for each show in which they participate (currently $45 per concert). Dues must be paid by the membership cut-off date for the concert, generally the third rehearsal. These dues do not cover the cost of the music. Rather, they are collected to help defray LCS expenses for the performance royalties, accompaniment, administration, music storage, etc. Dues are non-refundable after the membership cut-off date.
