The group has no dues or rules - just stimulating conversation about current and past shows, and a chance to interact with others in the Broadway and Cabaret worlds.
Bring any questions and /or challenges you might have - for the group to discuss.
Be sure to bring any flyers you have for upcoming shows.
Open to performers, composers, directors, producers, choreographers, agents, managers, etc.
We will probably start attending shows together and find ways to support musical theater causes.

CALIFORNIA DESERT CHORALE TO HOLD
AUDITIONS FOR ITS 22nd STELLAR SEASON
The California Desert Chorale (CDC) is beginning the build up to its 22nd Season and is searching for serious dedicated singers who are energized to be a part of this growing ensemble. The next audition will be held Monday, August 31 at 7:00p.m, St. John's Lutheran Church, 42695 Washington St. in Palm Desert. The upcoming fall auditions will be administered and conducted by Tim Bruneau, Artistic Director.
California Desert Chorale is comprised of both professional and amateur singers who bring a wide variety of choral and solo experience to the ensemble. The level of commitment expected is significant and should be carefully considered before auditioning. Singers auditioning should be prepared to honor the required membership commitments, which include: a weekly Monday night rehearsal from September 2015 - April 2016 with occasional Saturday morning rehearsals. The season is also comprised of two very busy concert week schedules and occasional community service performances. Potential members should also understand that a portion of the group's concert repertoire is sung from memory, therefore, extra time and effort on your own, outside of the scheduled rehearsals, is required of all participants.
Detailed preparation information and audition requirements is available online at CALIFORNIA DESERT CHORALE AUDITIONS and each audition will last approximately fifteen minutes.
California Desert Chorale is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit charitable organization. For more information on how to support and be involved with the CDC, visit the chorale's brand new WEBSITE.
Press inquiries should be directed to Jeff Hocker, Hocker Productions at 760-409-1530 or [email protected].

5.Will you bring CD's with your songs? Or will you have musical equipment? (keyboard, guitar, band). If equipment, you provide and set-up must be quick and easy.

12. Length of performance time is subject to review and set-up by cabaret coordinator and pride committee. Stage time is subject to number of performers, type of music, etc. Vocalists may be 5-25 minutes, with possible break? Drag personalities may be 1-4 numbers with breaks between songs for changes if they wish. If you have a minimum or maximum you wish, please advise and that will be taken into consideration.
