Reveille Men's Chorus is currently auditioning new members for their 2009 season. This is Reveille's 14th year of changing lives through music. Their upcoming program is titled "Make 'Em Laugh, Comedy in Music". If you've seen a Reveille concert before you know that humor has always been an essential element in their shows and this concert will be no different, showcasing the chorus's comedic as well as musical talents. The program will be presented on April 25 and 26 at the Berger Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of the Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind. Artistic Director Linus Lerner has selected a broad spectrum of music that parodies all elements of this crazy world we are living in. Audience members will be asked to check their sensitivities at the door; all bets are off and political correctness will be out the window. No sacred cow will be left unturned! If you enjoy singing and have thought about joining Reveille in the past, it's not too late. Rehearsals are held every Thursday from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the Hall at the Historic Y, 300 E. University, just west of the 4th Avenue district. For more information call the Reveille line at (520) 304-1758 or you can visit them online at reveillemenschorus.org.
