Join Us in the Gettin’ Higher Choir

Registration

When you know that you want to sign up to join the GHC:

Complete this choir registration form
If you want to be able to attend on Zoom (Tuesday or Thursday), do the Zoom registration — for security, in the first few weeks you’ll get an email with a new link in the afternoon of each practice.
Show up! If this is your first time with us, come to an orientation session at 6:30pm, either in person on one of the first two Tuesdays of the season (Sept. 26 or Oct. 3) or on Zoom on one of the first two Thursdays of the season (Sept. 28 or Oct 5) — then join in the singing that starts at 7:00pm.

If you have any questions about registration, please write to our Registrar.

Thank you for your interest in our choir community, and we hope to see you soon!

–Cathy & Dick

COVID Policy

For the start of our Fall 2023 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), 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 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 $200 for the season, with a sliding scale discount, as needed. As a member-supported choir, we ask that members pay the full fee if possible. If you need a discounted fee, we ask you to decide where on the sliding scale you fit based on your knowledge of your own finances and then let us know. Payment plans and even partial or full bursaries are also available as needed. 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 here: (Note: The “Pay Now” button below takes you to a secure page at PayPal, where you will confirm payment.)
