The East Alabama Civic Chorale, an outreach of the Arts Association of East Alabama, is back together and looking for new members.
Current members are made up of mostly Auburn and Opelika residents, with a few coming from neighboring communities.
The group is currently rehearsing at the Southside Center for the Arts, located at 1103 Glenn St. Chorale Director Jim Sikes said that they are looking for new members in August to join in preparation for their Christmas performances.
“As long as you have a mouth and two feet, and can hold your music up right, come on,” Sikes said for people interested in joining the group.
One day each week, the ensemble comes together for a 75-minute practice, which Sikes describes as fun but productive.
