Maranatha Touring Choir Auditions occur after the first rehearsal of the choir year (the first Saturday in January) and after each subsequent rehearsal during the month. Prospective members need to come to the practices which starting at 9:00am and end at 12:00pm. We meet at the Maranatha Music Ministries Building, located at 1915 Charles Street, in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

During this time most of the college members are still on their Christmas break and in the area to attend the first couple of practices. This gives new and prospective members the opportunity to meet most of the other choir members and to get a feel for what to expect.

There is an initial $125 fee due at the audition, which is applied towards the members $475 financial choir obligation. This $475 obligation covers all expenses for the year including, music, T-shirts, dresses, ties, drama costume, pictures, refreshments, and tour related expenses. After the initial $125 payment, the remaining $350 obligation breaks down to $70 per month, for the remaining five months leading up to the July tour. The financial obligation can be paid in full at anytime prior to the first Saturday in June, when the full amount is due.

Throughout the touring season, we will have opportunities for fund raising, to assist members with satisfying their financial obligation. Many of the members are able to meet their entire financial obligation through the fundraising opportunities.
