Membership Requirements
Members of the Downers Grove Choral Society meet to rehearse on Monday evenings in the Chapel of the Downers Grove First United Methodist Church from 7:30-9:30 pm.
Members are required to attend Monday evening rehearsals prior to the performances, including additional dress rehearsals the week preceding a performance.
Dues for members are $150 for the three-concert season (or $75 per concert). Members are responsible for purchasing their music (available for purchase at the first two rehearsals for each concert) and for purchasing required concert attire.
Members are also expected to assist with operational functions including set up and take down for rehearsals and concerts, fundraising, publicity, and ticket sales.
