Hello
Do you like to sing? Have you ever wanted to experience the thrill of singing 4-part acappella harmony? Well here's your opportunity to live out that thrill in the company of good friends. The Essex Vocal Express holds rehearsal every Monday night between 7:30 pm and 10 pm, at the Essex Christian Reform Church (276 Talbot St. South, Essex). A little over 30 of us come out weekly for the sheer love of singing this amazing art form. We all hail from Windsor, Essex County, Chatham, and Michigan. We have an amazing Director, Steve Pauling who comes over from Michigan weekly for rehearsal and our performances. Singing barbershop allows you to sing on both sides of the border, compete twice a year, experience what it is like to perform for the community, and develop long-lasting friendships from all over.
You will learn to be a better songster, and have the opportunity to sing in a barbershop chorus or even a quartet if you so desire. We provide the music and learning tracks, the great atmosphere to sing in, and the camaraderie and friendships we all develop are a bonus.
Come out and give it a try, you may never know you like it unless you try! Contact us today to let us know if you are interested, or want more information.
Call 519-563-9915 or 519-839-4027, or email essexvocalexpress@gmail.com today. For more information go to www.essexvocalexpress.com
