CHOIR FAQS

​

Do I need to audition?

There are no auditions for LCC. We are an open community choir, so all we ask for is an interest in singing, a willingness to try, and a positive attitude! All choir singers will also be asked to sign our community guidelines. These include our core values of never shaming any other singer, leaving politics at the door, and understanding that this is a group experience: "We > me = harmony." We are a supportive, joyful, encouraging community.

​

What if I've never sung in a choir before?

This choir was created for ALL to participate. There is a true mix of all singing abilities and experiences: complete beginners, hobby singers, and pros! Everyone is welcome, and the rehearsals are fun and casual, with all singing tailored to meet you at your individual level of skill and ability. We learn by ear, so there is never any sheet music.
 

WHERE are the choirs located?

In our current Spring '25 season, we have four separate choirs: VALLEY (Sherman Oaks), WESTSIDE (Venice), CITY (Mid City) & SOUTH BAY (Manhattan Beach). Next season we will be adding two more choirs, including one in the Silver Lake area, and another in West L.A.! Each choir is independent and has its own concert performance. We suggest you choose whichever is closer to you, OR whichever's schedule aligns with yours best. Final locations are announced when registration opens (in July!) **Exact addresses are only given to members after they register, as the season start gets nearer.

​

What if I can't make some of the rehearsals?
That's totally cool! There are no attendance requirements if you do not plan to perform in the concert. The journey is the destination! =) And if you do plan to perform in the concert, the special technical / band rehearsal is the only mandatory rehearsal. We just ask that if you miss a rehearsal, to catch up on what was taught by listening to the the practice audio files which are posted to a shared Dropbox folder after each rehearsal.

What if I'm away on the date of the concert?
That's also cool! The journey is the destination! The concert is just a bonus =)

How much is the membership for each season?
Pricing is announced when registration opens each season. We've priced the membership in consideration of all it requires to run a rewarding 9-week experience for a large group, and our registration fee is on the low end when it comes to similar groups, workshop series and memberships. We understand that everyone has their own unique financial situation, and if you are unable to pay for the registration all at once, you may opt to break up the registration fee into multiple payments via a third-party payment plan at check out (at your own discretion). 

Can my child or pet join or participate, or a guest?
This choir and all rehearsals are for adult humans only (18+). Choir rehearsals are strictly for members only. Due to insurance and safety, there cannot be any exceptions.

​

Will Greg be at every rehearsal?

Our founder and director, Greg Delson, leads every choir! He will be at a majority of the rehearsals for each choir, but will not be at every single rehearsal. That being said, we are building a team of dynamic, experienced, joyful conductors who all understand the importance of our inclusive, supportive culture, and who are excited to share the joy of group singing and FUN!

Can I audit a rehearsal before I decide?

Our choir seasons sell out quickly, so we encourage you to register as soon as a new season opens. Additionally, we do not offer auditing of rehearsals as only members are allowed at rehearsals for various safety, insurance and logistical reasons. We encourage you to check out our Instagram to get a vibe for our choir culture and community. We understand if this isn't enough for you to make a decision, and wish you the best on your musical journey!

​

What are the health protocols?

We are a community that cares for one another, so when any singer doesn't feel well, we ask that they stay home.

​

What is the refund policy?

We understand that plans change, work gets busy, things happen; however, once you register, there will be no refunds or rollovers for any reason. Nor will there be any prorated memberships. Please check all dates carefully before registering. All sales are final.

​​

Last season sold out so quickly, how can I make sure to join next season?

We recommend you put yourself on our mailing list. Be sure to check your spam folders as well. Email is the fastest way to be notified when registration opens up each season. Also, we recommend following us on Instagram as we announce there as well.
