Warm greetings from the Sound of Illinois chorus. Are you looking for a musical outlet? As always, we’d love to see you at rehearsal any Tuesday evening at Second Presbyterian church in Bloomington 7:00-9:15 p.m.
Just stop on by, and hop on the risers with 70-80 friends and get ready to sing! We’re currently working on music for our annual show. We’ve selected some of our favorite songs from the past 13 years, and have a few new ones as well.
Upcoming 2015 Sound of Illinois events you should attend:
Feb. 13-14 – Singing Valentines. It’s the season of love. The Sound of Illinois will send a quartet to your loved one in Central Illinois on Friday or Saturday. Included in the package is a rose, a card, a gift and two songs. Make this holiday a special memory.
Feb. 21 – Illinois District Academy of Harmony at the Parke Hotel in Bloomington. (Vocal Spectrum, After Hours, Forefront, David Wright, Rich Knight and more.) You don’t want to miss it.

Our very own Ray Romano (or a look alike) will be the host. The music is already sounding great, but it will be better with you on the risers. If you can’t sing with us . . . at least come to the show – and bring your friends and family. Stop by the BCPA to get your tickets. Or you can click on the links below:
