The River City Chorus meets every Monday night, year-round, at the Music Man Square in Mason City, IA, for practice from 7:00pm – 10:00pm CST/CDT except during the summer, when the chorus only meets every 2nd and 4th Monday. Practices feature warm-ups, singing songs for the current contest and/or show being prepared for, sectional practices to hone our skills at listening and singing as a uniform section, and a business meeting where we handle the current business at hand.
Guests are welcome anytime at our practices, and they are encouraged to drop in and participate! We’d be happy to put anyone interested in singing with us in the chorus to “try it out” and see what they think. After a short meeting with a director or section leader to determine the best voice part, we’ll let you experience the barbershop sound. Just like offers on TV, we have a “no obligation” approach to barbershop…we just want you to have fun and make good music!
