Sing in Our Gospel Concert
On Sunday afternoon, April 16, at Luck Luthern Church, we'll sing an afternoon of Gospel Music.
The program includes the chorus, member quartets, as well as special guests.
We need you to be part of that.
Men, women, old and young, we invite you to join us on the final four songs:
- God Bless America
- Go Tell It on the Mountain
- Beautiful Savior
- Sing Your Way Home
We'll spend 7-8pm on Mondays starting March 6 rehearsing these four numbers.
There's no cost, no further commitment, and you won't even need to memorize.
We provide sheet music and audio tracks to help all of our singers learn music outside of rehearsal.
Whether you've been planning to stop
by for a long time, or had just got the idea this moment, this is the time to come out and make music!
You're Welcome Any and Every Monday!
Find us Monday nights, from 7-9PM. Most nights we're in the Polk County Justice Center in Balsam Lake. Find this building at the west edge of town on the corner of 46 and County Road I. On the second Monday of each month, we meet at other spaces in and around Polk County. For more information, please contact us at info@indianheadchorus.org or message us on Facebook.
Our members travel down from Webster, up from Osceola, in from Cumberland and Turtle Lake,
and even from across the river in Minnesota. If you need a ride, we can do that.
For more information, please drop us a line.
- We typically do not meet between Christmas and New Year's Eve.
- In September we rehearse at Amery High School, venue of our fall concert.
- Meetings are very occasionally moved to a special location for a variety of reasons. We try to keep
that updated here. Otherwise check our
Facebook page.
We make an effort to post these changes to the public, but it never hurts to contact us first.
Auditions
Visit us as often as you like. After you have been to at least three rehearsals,
we invite you to try out to become an official member of the group.
Once you've decided to audition, we keep it short and sweet.
- Pick a song you feel comfortable with - if you're unsure we can help you choose.
You don't need to memorize, just learn your part confidently. Recordings are even
available to help you with this.
- When you're ready, you'll sing privately with some our Music Committee - this is the Director,
the Assistant Director and a few others. Often we do it just before or after rehearsal.
- You'll sing your song twice. First, with four other guys
one singer doubling your part. The second time you'll sing independently in a quartet.
- The Music Committee evaluates your performance.
We don't look for perfection, just the ability to sing pleasantly and expressively in tune.
You'll get feedback in just a few minutes.
- When you pass the audition, you'll a Barbershop Harmony Society application,
The Music Committee recommends you to the chorus board, who approves your membership.
- In the event you don't pass the audition, we'll
help you understand what aspects of your performance were not strong enough,
and, more importantly, how to continue improving.
Directions
Our rehearsal space is located in the
Justice Center at Polk County

We meet in the Conference Room just off the main lobby. To the left as you enter.
