Colorado Spirit Chorus has been bringing 4-part a cappella harmony to Boulder County and surrounding areas of the Front Range for over 50 years! As a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, we belong to a network of over 600+ choruses worldwide. We are passionate about spreading joy through music, empowering and uplifting one another, and enriching the communities we serve.

Colorado Spirit Chorus is open to women and non-binary singers ages 12 and up (minors must be accompanied by a guardian). We welcome singers of all ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds, and people with disabilities. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced singer, our chorus has a place for you.

Dress comfortably in clothes that support movement and deep breathing. Avoid anything hot or constraining. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes.

​

We rehearse at 7100 South Boulder Rd, Boulder, CO 80303 (Boulder Valley Christian Church; please note that although our rehearsal space is in a church, we are not a religious organization). Our entrance is through the office door on the Northwest side of the building, so it is best to park on the far right side of the parking lot near the large field. Our rehearsal venue offers accessible parking and is located on the ground floor, making it accessible for all.

Be sure to RSVP to let us know you're coming. Our New Member team will be standing by to greet you at the entrance. We'll answer questions and guide you through your visit.

We'll check out a Guest Music folder for you to reference during rehearsals. If you don't know how to read music, don't worry, it's not required! Please be sure to return your music at the end of the night. If you decide to move forward in your audition process, you'll also receive a Guest Log in to access a special section of our Members Only website that offers sheet music and audio learning tracks.

We begin every rehearsal with stretching and gentle body movement to physically prepare our bodies for singing and alignment. It's a great way to shake off the day, stretch out tired muscles and prepare for excellent posture on the risers. After physical warm ups our focus shifts to guided vocal warm ups. Comfortable clothes and shoes are recommended.

We'll share some background about the qualities and structure of vocal parts in barbershop music, and conduct an informal vocal assessment to help you identify which part may be the best fit with your range. ​

The best way to experience our music and culture is by jumping right in, so there will be many opportunities for you to sing with the chorus! Once you've identified a vocal part, we'll help you find a spot near a helper who sings the same vocal part. ​

If you visit during an Open House, we'll invite you to take a seat in the audience so that our singers may perform a few of our favorite numbers for you to enjoy. This is a great way to get a sense of our overall sound and how music and movement work together for our chorus. ​

Ready to take the next steps? We're here to help every step of the way! Auditions are open year-round, and our soft audition process allows you to move at your own pace.​

Colorado Spirit Chorus believes that every voice matters. We welcome singers of all ethnic and racial backgrounds, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community and people from varied religions (or lack thereof). ​​

Membership in the Colorado Spirit Chorus involves growth as a musician, performer, competitor and SO much more! Our Open House is a fun and free way to meet our members, learn about our musical style, and experience our chorus culture.
