Rock on the Rock Choir perform at the Lower

By Grace McCune

Once again we’ve come upon a new season for singing. It’s my pleasure to announce the beginning of the next phase for the Orcas Center Children’s Choir and the adult “Rock on the Rock” Choir. The information for both choirs is as follows:

Orcas Center Children’s Choir: This choir will be meeting every Tuesday starting May 18th –June 15th from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in the Off Center stage at the Orcas Center. This choir is open to all children ages 6+. It’s a short but sweet 4 week choir ending with participating in the Solstice Parade in Eastsound. We will be merrily singing dressed up and sharing the magic of our community’s children’s voices through downtown Eastsound.. Tuition is$40

“Rock on the Rock” Choir: As this choir has grown, so have we! This choir will now meet for two hours and I’ve extended the amount of weeks from 8 to now 12 weeks. We will come together every Tuesday starting May 18that 5 to 7 p.m.in the Off Center stage at the Orcas Center. Ages are 16+. There are no auditions to participate in this choir. The only pre-requisites are the desire to sing and to have a good time doing it. In fact we have so much fun it’s practically illegal. At the end of our 12 weeks we will participate in a collaborative event with other local musicians for one of the “Sunday Music in the Park” concert series in August. The music chosen for this choir is hardly traditional, we stand by our name and yes, we have a rock band too. Tuition is $90.
