Welcome to the choir page of the Hymns of Thanksgiving website. A choir will be organized for Hymns of Thanksgiving 2023. The seating arrangement in the Idaho Central Arena allows us to organize a choir of NOT MORE than 274 singers, arranged as follows:
for a TOTAL possible 274 choir members.
CHOIR APPLICATIONS MAY ONLY BE SENT THROUGH THIS WEBSITE, AND WILL ONLY BE RECEIVED BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 1 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2023. All choir participants MUST submit an application below at the bottom of the page. When you submit your application, you will receive an email confirming receipt.
The Hymns of Thanksgiving Choir is organized anew each year. Even if you have been in the Hymns of Thanksgiving Choir in previous years, you MUST submit an application in a timely manner to be considered for membership in the 2023 Choir. You will receive an email notification of your choir status by October 1, 2023.
Choir members will enjoy an intense and very rewarding choral experience. The Hymns of Thanksgiving Choir is NOT a “training choir.” A choir applicant should be well-grounded musically, capable of understanding and learning difficult music and be willing to blend his/her talent with others to achieve a “one-voice” choir. Because much of the music is quite challenging, choir members must be dedicated to attending the scheduled rehearsals.
Men selected for the Hymns of Thanksgiving Choir will need to have a black suit and white shirt for the performance. Ties will be furnished. Women selected for the Hymns of Thanksgiving Choir will need to wear black slacks or skirt for the performance. Concert tops will be furnished.
