I'm pleased to report that I have auditioned a total of 31 people so far for the Birmingham Concert Chorale.
None of these people sang with the choir last year and only a few are returning singers from past years. The auditions have been of extremely high quality for the most part and it's gotten me very excited about the potential for the group.
I credit the interest to the two-week long advertisement on WBHM . . . we've gotten tons of calls from that. I've also received a number of calls from people that read Birmingham Parent.
More auditions are scheduled before rehearsal begins on Monday, August 18. It's going to be an incredible year of singing.
