Do you need to have prior singing experience to be accepted into KSB?
No! Luckily, everyone can learn to sing.
Is it too late to join KSB if your voice is changing?
No! Unlike some other children’s choirs, KSB works with singers through their voice change.
What is expected of KSB members?
Members are expected to both sing and behave professionally whenever they are representing KSB. They are expected to arrive for all rehearsals, performances and KSB events promptly. They are expected to treat all members of the KSB family with respect. Finally, KSB members are expected to have fun! Leonard Bernstein said that music-making should “be fun all the time.” This is a philosophy we live by at KSB. Although we work very hard, we always have fun making the music, both in rehearsal and performance.
What are the different groups of KSB?
There are different singing groups within KSB based on the level of singer musicianship. Singers will be placed in a group once we assess their level of singer musicianship. We also take into account age, grade, singing experience, and social/emotional maturity. For more information about the different groups, click here.
Where does KSB perform?
Performances vary! We sing on the most storied stages in our region and also in senior living homes, museums and local events. We perform full concerts and we also enjoy small performances. KSB has had the opportunity to sing on TV, radio, broadway stages and in music halls around the world.
