Rehearsals are usually Sunday nights from 6:00 through 8:30 (with a 15 minute snack break around 7:15). We do have a final rehearsal the night before our concerts, but that's about it. Dues are $40 a semester, and there's a one-time fee of ~$30 for a folder. There's no auditions unless you're trying out for a solo part. Usually there's one concert a semester, plus a cabaret (mini-concert-thing with lotsa solos/small group songs) every other(?) spring - we are doing one this year. There are usually two or three other opportunities to sing a semester for various reasons; we usually sing for the U of I's MLK Day celebration thing, for example, and sometimes we're invited to sing a song or two at various churches or other celebrations (Iowa City/Ceder Rapids Pride events, weddings, welcoming nights, etc).

I think that's everything? It's a little late to join the fall/winter semester, I'm pretty sure, but around mid-January we'll be opening up for the spring semester. I'm pretty sure we'll be putting up fliers for new members/ads in the paper around then, and I can always let you know in person :) Our concerts are free, if you'd like to attend our next one; I think it's December 3rd-ish? We also need help from volunteers to be ushers and such, if you're interested :)
