[net.music.classical] Help! Need ideas to recruit choristers

berry@zinfandel.UUCP (Berry Kercheval) (03/13/85)

Well, the chorus I sing with, the Alta California Chamber Singers, is 
in serious trouble due to post-Christmas dropouts.  We are down to
about eight singers, and only two men.  Does anyone out there have any
experience or ideas for how to go about recruiting more members?  

So far we are planning to send audition flyers to music stores,
public libraries, local colleges and schools, and so on.  We are 
considering moving the rehearsal location to Berkeley from Orinda (about
10 minute's drive away) to encourage people to come.  (So many
people won't come to the other side of the hills for ANYTHING, but that's
another topic....)

Well, friends, any ideas?  Or should we just hang it up and go our
separate ways?  

Please reply by mail.  I will summarize any good ideas I get, if I get any.
*sigh*.
