What does it cost to be a member? Each week, members pay $8. Additional membership dues are required when the group prepares for the Sweet Regional Adelines contest. How much time do I have to put in each week? Members are expected to attend most weekly rehearsals (3 hours on Wednesday night). Extra time is required 5 - 6 times per year when Out of the Blue is preparing for a performance or show. On an individual basis, members are expected to devote an adequate amount of time to learning new songs by listening to their CD/cassette and/or studying their sheet music. How long does it take to learn a song? We generally plan to be 'off the music' within 3 - 4 weeks after the first practice. But we generally take another 5 - 6 weeks developing our own interpretation and perfecting the harmony. Who decides which part I sing? During the audition the music team will decide which part suits your voice best. How to join? We require each applicant to do an audition in front of a panel of the music team. There are several parts to the audition. The applicant must perform one song from our repertoire in a quartet, sing one free-choice song solo, as well as complete a choreographed routine.
