VOLUNTEERING
Our volunteers keep us singing, and we are so grateful for their support! Won’t you join this group of great people?
Below are some of our current volunteer openings. You need not be an active member of the Chorale in order to volunteer with us.
Concert Slide Operator
The Concert Slide Operator runs PowerPoint presentations before, during, and after our concerts and at intermission. All presentations are provided, as is a computer for use at the concert. The Operator will need to advance lyrics slides and other relevant slides in time with the performances.
The Concert Slide Operator must attend at least the two rehearsals immediately preceding the concert in order to practice synchronizing the lyrics slides as the Chorale rehearses concert pieces.
Rehearsal tracks are also available for practice.
Music Filing
Help our Librarian with music returns and assembling music folders for our members.
You’ll help manage one of the largest choral music libraries in Colorado!
Guild Member
The Longmont Chorale Guild, a community-based group, helps to organize and support Chorale functions benefiting our singers, our audience, and our community.
Learn more about Guild membership by scrolling down to the Join Our Guild section of this page.
Riser Wranglers
You’ll help setup risers before dress rehearsals and concerts, and help tear them down afterwards, too. Risers arrive at our performance venue in a trailer and must be wheeled into and out of the building.
We are looking for a back up Riser Wrangler Coordinator, too.
Ticket Counter
Staff the ticket tables at our concerts, where you’ll handle door sales via cash, check, or charge.
You can also help distribute tickets to our members at rehearsals for sale. You’ll gather any tickets not sold by our members to be sold at the door.

The Board of Directors is open to members of our community. Our full Board meets monthly about ten times per year, with a few committees meeting occasionally in between.
