Thank you for inquiring about membership in Delta Community Choir (DCC).

This Handbook outlines our Mission Statement, background information, rehearsal and performance expectations, fees, attendance policy, as well as support system for your success. The Membership and Commitment Form is required for all NEW and RETURNING members. Deadlines for registration and instructions for submission are included under the section “Registration” in the DCC Choir Handbook.
While we are a non-auditioned, adult SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) choir, all applications are reviewed by the Music Director and submitted to the DCC Board of Directors for final approval. The Music Director will contact you so that you will have a full understanding of who and what DCC is about. This will further ensure your personal success and fun as well as that of the Choir’s. If you are enduring financial hardship and seek the possibility of financial assistance, please read the Member Sponsorship Information and complete the Member Sponsorship Form displayed at concerts or by contacting 517.627.6202 or deltacc.org. These forms are confidential and reviewed by the Music Director and Board of Directors for consideration.
