Choir Life: Members Web Sites

If you are a current or past member of any choir in our family of choirs and you have a web site feel free to submit the URL plus a 50 word (or less) capsule description for inclusion on this page.   Your listing will be posted on the page until you request it be replaced or deleted. 

A number of the listings below are rotated (in the order received) through the "Spotlighted" section below and a link to that section appears in every second week that the Gettin' Higher Choir is in season. This will give your site periodic exposure to 1500+ people and offer readers different web sites to check out from the listings' live links.
