Each fall, director Ken Mitten leads an auditioned cast in the presentation of a secular play with family appeal. Auditions are open to the community and usually occur in May. Previous shows have included Every Little Crook and Nanny

by Peter Cook; Fools by Neil Simon; The Duck Variations by David Mamet; and The Bald Soprano by Eugene Ionesco. Rehearsals begin middle to late summer. Performances are usually the last weekend of September.

All are welcome! It may be hard to believe, but every week and every season at Calvary Church, guitars and drums play alongside tubas and

saxophones to lead us in worship and celebration. There truly is an opportunity for every instrumentalist.

  Participation in the orchestra is open to middle and high school players and adult players with no audition. Instrumentalists are encouraged to be WORSHIPPERS FIRST and musicians second. This instrumental group welcomes all classical and contemporary instruments, and appropriate scores and charts are provided and marked for players

each week. Take-home rehearsal packets are also available upon request. Orchestra rehearses Wednesdays 8:00 - 9:00p and Sundays 8:30a (before A service) and 10:15a (before B service). Primary and secondary keyboardists are welcome to join this group after a Director's Interview / Audition.

Participation is open to middle and high school students and adults. Ringing experience and/or keyboard knowledge helpful, but not required. Format is dependent on each playing position, so those participating must be extremely dedicated

to rehearsal and performance schedules. Players will acquire excellent sight reading and teamwork skills, and have a lot of fun. Rehearsals are Tuesday nights, 7:00 - 8:30.

Special seasons like Advent and Independence Day often bring additional opportunities for instrumentalists. These special musical events are

planned with convenient and compact rehearsal schedules, making it easy for those who want to join us for only a week or two.

For those who would like to play, we have a limited inventory of instruments that can be

borrowed. If you have one that's collecting dust in the closet, consider donating it to Worship & Arts.

It's one thing to be a singer, but an entirely different thing to be a WORSHIPPER. While we are out to get people involved, we also realize that to sing a song from your heart, you have to LIVE IT. Because God alone is our audience, we always strive to offer

up excellence, and we do everything we can to prepare beautiful music. When we gather to worship, our preparations give way to our testimony, so that the Message is more important - more than the messenger or the medium.

This monthly event is a great way to try us out! On this designated Sunday each month, willing worshippers pack the choir loft! Two weeks prior to each Singers Sunday date, rehearsal CDs are available. Attendance at Wednesday rehearsals is NOT REQUIRED for participation in the monthly Singers Sunday, so singers are empowered

to practice on their own, or join us in Wednesday evening rehearsals. On the designated Singers Sunday, all singers meet in the loft at 8:30a (before the A service) and/or at 10:15a (before the B service) for a mass worship rehearsal. Singers Sunday is open to all vocalists as a one-time, monthly commitment based on their availability.
