PopUp Choir
Presented by Colorado Springs Youth Choir at The Meanwhile Block Colorado Springs, CO
What is a PopUp Choir? A PopUp Choir is a one-night event where people who love to sing (amateurs, professionals, karaoke masters) get together and sing! Everyone is welcome! (It is not a concert - we sing for the pleasure of singing - a joyful experience and connection are the goal - not perfection.) Every event is unique. The dynamics change depending on the singers, song choice, and facilitator. It simply is something you must experience to truly understand. Everyone is Welcome! Yes, everyone! Come as you are. Even if you don’t want to sing but just want to hang out and have a really cool experience, we would love to have you there. Reserve your sport today and get to know some incredible Springs’ residents. Before the Event! Once you register for the PopUp choir you will receive an email with your practice track and access to your sheet music. For the month of October we will be singing, “Sleep” by Eric Witacre. Evening of the Event On the evening of the event signers will arrive at the Meanwhile Block. Once we have settled in we will warm up, spend some time getting to know each other, and practice in sections (based on voice part.) The evening will conclude with everyone signing together as a choir. Don’t forget to bring your sheet music, a water bottle, and a pencil with you. Where do the proceeds from the event go? The proceeds of event will benefit the Colorado Springs Youth…
