  • A non-auditioned choir is a group where anyone who loves to sing can join without needing to audition. This means there’s no requirement to demonstrate vocal ability before joining or having experience reading sheet music. Our choir welcomes singers of all levels, from beginners to experienced vocalists, and every voice is valued and celebrated.

  • We perform a wide range of well-known pop and rock songs from various eras, featuring unique arrangements that cater to the diverse musical tastes of our members. Our repertoire includes everything from Simon and Garfunkel, Stealers Wheel, and The Beatles, to Katy Perry, Maren Morris, Toto, Sister Sledge, John Denver, CCR, John Lennon, and many more. There is a little something for everyone in the OOTB Chorus!
