Out Loud Chorus
New Members
Love singing? Love the LGBTQ+ community? Need a break from the usual 9 to 5? Come sing with Out Loud Chorus - we'd love to have you!
Our next New Member Nights are September 16 and 23, 2019
Our new member nights are in late January and late September every year. We rehearse every Monday night, 7-9:30 pm, September through May.
Come check us out with no obligation - we're a great group to sing with!
We are an LGBTQ+ chorus in Washtenaw County, rehearsing in Ann Arbor, MI (allies welcome). We produce fun, quality main stage concerts twice a year, and perform at community events year round.
This is a chance to see how we work, meet the chorus and our director, Darin DeWeese, and enjoy some tasty snacks! No music background? No problem! All levels of musical experience are welcome! We are non-auditioned so there's no pressure (just be able to match pitch)--there's no obligation to join. Show up, meet some wonderful people, and enjoy yourself!
Our January 2020 concerts theme is "Legendary: The Music of Great Hollywood Movies and Movie Musicals." Selections include Another Day of Sun from La La Land, Children Will Listen from Into the Woods, Gimme Some Lovin' from The Blues Brothers, Our Love Is Here to Stay from When Harry Met Sally, and Orff's O Fortuna from The Omen.
Where: Trinity Lutheran Church, 1400 W. Stadium Blvd, Ann Arbor, MI
When: Monday nights 7 to 9:30 pm, with snacks at ~8:15 pm. (September - May)
Who: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, straight allies, queer, questioning - all are welcome!

We have members of all different singing and musical abilities. Our only requirement to sing with the choir is that you are able to match pitch. We have members who don't read music, members with college degrees in music, members who have never sung with a choir before and members who have sung with professional touring choirs, and probably everything else in between. We are a non-auditioned choir. You will be asked to sing a little for our director so we can help decide which section you will sing in. If you are under 18, we will provide a consent form needing to be signed your parent or legal guardian.
Out Loud Chorus does have attendance and dues policies that we will be happy to explain when you visit us. Even if you think you can't afford it, please come and try us out. We have sponsorships available. No one will be turned away for the inability to pay choir dues. There are also roles available for non-singing members! If you don't like to sing, but you love the Out Loud Chorus, you can play an integral part! We often need the help of choreographers, dancers and musicians. We also often need people to help with producing the concerts, preparing the reception, helping with fundraisers and marketing and other similar tasks.
