2025 – 2026 SEASON
Joining MCC and Rehearsal Information
MCC welcomes adult and high school singers (grades 9-12) at all levels of ability and experience! We are a friendly, no stress, group of SATB singers and a no-audition chorus. If you are interested in singing with us, please fill out the Contact Form below and come to rehearsal! Rehearsals are Thursday evenings, 7-9pm.
For Spring 2026 we have moved to rehearsing at St Paul’s United Methodist Church in Odessa (406 Main St) – there is parking behind the church, at the state police station next door, and street parking in front. The accessible entrance is at the front.
We occasionally may rehearse at Odessa HS (570 Tony Marchio Dr, Townsend DE 19734). Click here to see a photo of where to enter the high school – follow the red arrows through the campus to the labeled parking lot then come in the door indicated by the blue arrow and the music room is immediately on your left.
Rehearsals for our spring 2026 semester began February 19th 2026. Our 2025/2025 season schedule is below.
Dues for the 2025/2026 season are $50/adult per semester; $20/student (high school or college) per semester. There are two semesters in the season. We don’t want people to be unable to sing for financial reasons, so if the dues present a hardship, please contact to our Treasurer, Dana, about scholarship support and payment plans. You can pay for your dues on the Members Dues page, or at rehearsal (cash, check made out to Middletown Community Chorus or MCC, or card).
Music will be provided (you will not have to pay for it). There will be an option to purchase for those who like to own the scores.
