In an effort to achieve a balanced choir, we have allocated quotas to each voice part. Please contact us if we've run out of spaces in your voice part as we may be able to slot you in if other voice parts aren't full. Also, if you're unsure what your voice part is, do not hesitate to contact us. Our contact email is:comms@singwithbscs.org.uk.
