Join Us in the Gettin’ Higher Choir Fall 2025 Season
Here’s What We Do
The Fall 2025 season starts Tuesday, September 16 through January 13, taking a break on December 23rd and 30th, with a planned concert on the weekend of Jan. 16–18. You can trust that our choice of repertoire will be as satisfying as ever!
- Tuesday sessions (In-Person AND on Zoom) run 7:00pm to 9:00pm Pacific Time. We sing at Norway House, 1110 Hillside Ave. (Google Maps link) It’s on bus routes #4 and #9, and close to the #6.
- Wednesday Sing-In sessions (on Zoom, and sometimes in person) run 7:00 to 8:30pm Pacific, and these are open to the drop-in public (see below).
Tuesday practices are focussed on singing to build community, strengthen our resilience, have fun, experience harmony and to prepare songs for our planned fundraising concert.
Zoom is great for our out of town members, or in case of illness, and we record all the practices for you to review! We also provide audio practice files for our concert songs.

COVID Policy
For the start of our Fall 2025 season:
- We no longer require a declaration of COVID vaccination status. At the same time, we do appreciate our members’ participation in vaccination programs.
- We continue to ask that if you’re showing any symptoms of illness (COVID, RSV, flu and colds can all have similar symptoms), or if you think you may have been exposed to measles, please stay away from in-person practice.
- As we start our season, masks are now optional for in-person practices, and we will make available these excellent masks for $2, just covering our cost, which allow comfortable breathing and fine singing! (see us singing in masks in our GHC January 2023 concert videos)
- However, we reserve the right to reinstate a mask requirement for attendance if the situation worsens. If this happens, for clarity of teaching and expression, your devoted choir directors would remain unmasked when leading the group.
We care deeply about our singers’ well-being, and will follow the science and provincial protocols and may tend toward greater caution in our policies.
Fees
Choir fees are $225 for the season, with a sliding scale of options, according to your means—see the options below. Payment plans are also available as needed—please write to our Registrar. Our bottom line is that no one misses choir because of money.
Fees may be paid by Interac® e-Transfer to payment@gettinhigherchoir.ca, or with credit card or PayPal below: (Note: The “Pay Now” button below takes you to a secure page at PayPal, where you will confirm payment.)
