Sing with us for the holidays! Rehearsals begin October 30
From the end of October to mid-December Jet Cities Chorus had over a dozen women join our holiday chorus, and they had a blast! They all agreed that singing with Jet Cities builds confidence, helps relieve stress, introduces you to new people, and is wonderful "me time!"
