Being part of GCS has given me some of the most lasting and worthwhile friendships I have known.
Questions often asked are
- Do I need to be able to sight-read music?
Well, some sight-reading skills are needed or you could just spend some time learning the choruses before you come. - Do I need to audition?
Absolutely not. - Is there a dress code?
Again no, all very informal. Jimjams if you fancy, just come along and enjoy.
