Students who have been members of Jubilate for one year or more, and have the Choir Director's permission, may proceed into the Touring Choir. Touring Choir members place emphasis on musicianship and vocal technique, as well as theory. A large percentage of the Touring Choir repertoire is sung in foreign languages. Some songs are sung without accompaniment (a capella). The Touring Choir gives frequent community performances in addition to the annual Spring and Holiday concerts. The Touring Choir, as the name implies, is the group that travels each year. The Touring Choir has won many awards over the years they have been competing. Awards won include:
1989- 1st place at the 19th International Youth and Music Festival in Vienna, Austria.
1992 - "Senior Choir of the Year" at the Bournemouth Music Makers Festival in Bournemouth, England.
1994- 2nd place at the Oskarshamn International Choral Festival in Oskarshamn, Sweden.
The commitment required for Touring Choir membership is heavy in both time and money, but builds a strong, well-rounded young adult. Touring Choir members rehearse together for four hours each week, plus an extra two hours on a Saturday every month. Acceptance into the Touring Choir is also based on the singer's social readiness. A contract of participation is required.
