The Choir is an uplifting new television program originally produced and aired on the BBC, which documents award-winning Choirmaster, Gareth Malone, as he attempts to create choirs in the unlikeliest of settings. He feels choirs allow people to come together and express themselves as a community, and although they’re made of many voices, individuals often find unexpected personal rewards and growth through the experience.

This is NOT another competition show about finding the next pop superstar or watching people sing off-key in front of judges for a humiliating audition segment. It’s about building community spirit with neighbors, peers, co-workers, and others through the simple joy of singing and it’s open to military wives across all service branches. Vocal talent is welcome, but not required. This is an amazing opportunity to find the camaraderie and joy of having your voice heard while making new friends and having fun.

Hi Lisa,

I think I've already emailed back, but we're working our way through the list of spouses, so we'll hopefully get to talk soon! :-)
