Vocal Choirs

Chancel Choir

(Tim Koch, Director)

Matins Choir

Grades 7-12.  The Matins Choir sings choral music in a variety of styles geared toward this particular age group, while learning the techniques required to sing more challenging literature in the future.  (Tim Koch, Director)

Crusade Choir

Grades 4-6.  This choir sings anthems written for this age group, and begins the process of reading music and learning various choral techniques.  (Amy Koch, Director)

Carol Choir

Grades 1-3, with kindergarten joining each January.  Since many of these children are still unable to read well, much of the music and vocal techniques are taught by rote.  (Amy Koch, Director)

No requirements for the younger choirs except a
commitment to attendance at rehearsals.

Handbell Choirs

Adult Handbell Choir

Rhythmic proficiency required.

Youth Handbell Choir

Grades 7-12.  Rhythmic proficiency required.

Handchime Choir

Grades 4-6.  Rhythmic proficiency helpful, but not required.

A commitment to attendance at rehearsals is absolutely mandatory.

Instrumentalists and Accompanists

The traditional services frequently use instruments in a solo or ensemble setting: (i.e., oboe, flute, harp, strings, percussion, bells, brass, etc.).  Also, competent accompanists are needed from time to time for choir anthems.  Contact Tim Koch at: timothy.koch@trinitycamphill.org.

Summer Soloists and Ensembles

While the younger choirs break for the summer, soloists and ensembles are needed for services.

Carilloneurs

People of all ages who take turns playing Trinity's carillon before the 11:00 am service.
 

Contemporary Service

FaithX plays music selected from recordings by popular Christian music artists, contemporary Christian songbooks, and from Lutheran hymnbooks and music resources.  They also write original music.  The band members do all song arrangements.  Debbie Wilson, Director.
