<div>Hi... welcome to Gay Choruses, a tribe where chorus members from all over the world can share resources, stories, ideas, photos, and much more. Hopefully we can grow this tribe to be something useful... so get the word out! <br/> <br/>Rick <br/>Moderator</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://gaychoruses.tribe.net">Gay Choruses</a> - 9 replies </div>

<div>Hey everyone... sorry for my lengthy absence. I promise to be more vigilant about posting around here. <br/> <br/>So... how are your holiday shows going? <br/> <br/>CGMC (http://www.cgmc.org) is doing "A Cowboy Christmas" this year and it promises to be a TON of fun. I was a little leery about it at first, but it's growing on me fast. Think Dolly Parton. Lots of Dolly Parton. You'll get the gist. <br/> <br/>Windy City (http:www.windycitysings.org) is producing their latest CD, "A Windy City Christmas" and will be doing a concert with the same title. I can speak of WCGC and the Windy City Slickers' contributions to the show and say they'll be a good mix of great music. I am guessing the Unison (mixed chorus) will also be a good mix as well. <br/> <br/>Share with the group... how are your shows coming along?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://gaychoruses.tribe.net">Gay Choruses</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>Please invite other chorus friends here to share ideas and questions. I'd love for GALA choruses to include this group on their website, but so far there hasn't been anything done. <br/> <br/>Anyone have connections? ;-)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://gaychoruses.tribe.net">Gay Choruses</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Is anyone else here bi-choral? (Sing in two --or more-- choruses?) <br/> <br/>I know there are at least two of us here from Chicago (myself and Marcus)... share your experiences with the group. How are you keeping up? Are you going crazy yet? :)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://gaychoruses.tribe.net">Gay Choruses</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Since I am pretty new to the whole GBLTQQSA chorus movement, I rely on you folks to speak to me. <br/> <br/>Now, I like mixed choruses. I like to hear the full spectrum of sound. But also, I like all the FtM's and MtF's, poly folks, old guard folks, up and coming... it's like a puzzle constantly shifting. <br/> <br/>However, I have noticed an interesting tension between the two groups. I know, everyone says that they are supportive of each other, but it seems to this untrained eye that mixed choruses are regarded as inferior to single sex/gender choruses. Any ideas why? <br/> <br/>I'm not trying to start any shit -- promise. From my standpoint, a lot of it seems to be old rifts no one knows about (unless you investigate the history of relations between lesbians and gay men), but are subconciously acted out. But that's too simplistic. It seems that the community supports single sex/gender choruses while many mixed choruses struggle to hang on, struggle to make it another season. <br/> <br/>Why? <br/> <br/>Anecdotes, stories, analysis, suggestions all welcome. Just, I am tired of thinking about this and no one being willing to really open up about why they feel this happens. Or, even, to let the vitrol flow. "I don't like singing with women" -- harsh, but honest. <br/> <br/>Also, are there any female members here? Other trans?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://gaychoruses.tribe.net">Gay Choruses</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>I'm surprised Rick hasn't brought this up yet. This Saturday, September 17th, the Chicago Gay Men's Chorus will be performing the National Anthem before the Cubs game. (noon, central time) <br/> <br/>Rick, will you be there? I'm actually working Saturday, but have enough of a lunch break to go sing. <br/> <br/>Marcus</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://gaychoruses.tribe.net">Gay Choruses</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>we just finished our concert "Sung Heroes" -- it was amazing. Being a part of the ADC (Artistic Direction Commitee) tied me to the show more than I knew on deep resonant levels. <br/> <br/>How's everyone else?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://gaychoruses.tribe.net">Gay Choruses</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Let's communicate to our choruses, and to other choruses, about this tribe. I love the discussions that are going on so far, and would like to see some more come up. Tell people you know about the tribe and they'll tell some people, and so on, and so on, and so on.... <br/> <br/>I would love to see some lesbian chorus members join. Do you know any that would be interested? <br/> <br/>And does anyone know anyone at GALA who could publicize our tribe? I've sent a couple Emails already but nothing has come around yet.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://gaychoruses.tribe.net">Gay Choruses</a> - 0 replies </div>
