Good Company Membership
We are a group of about thirty women in their 20s to 90s. Our members come from all walks of life and professions – we have artists, lawyers, students, professors and administrators at Iowa State, parents, doctors, and retirees, just to name a few!
Joining Good Company is a great way to get to know people if you’re new to the community or an opportunity to spend time with friends if you’ve been here forever. We take our name seriously - you can expect to find good company in our friendly, welcoming group. We look forward to meeting you soon!
Rehearsals
Good Company rehearses on Sunday nights from 6:30-9:00 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Ames.
Singers are expected to learn music independently and come with parts prepared to each rehearsal. Regular attendance is expected at rehearsals.
We hold about 10 rehearsals per concert over 3-4 months.
Rehearsals begin in September for our fall season and our concert is usually on the first Sunday of December.
Rehearsals begin in January for our spring season with our concert usually on the first Sunday in May.
Dues
Dues are $55 for one semester or $100 for the year. We don’t turn anyone away for lack of funds; please speak to the conductor during your audition or a member of the board to make accommodations.
Members may pay their dues online or via check.
Concert Attire
We wear all black for concerts. No special outfit purchase is required to participate.
Auditions
Auditions are open year-round and we are always looking for all Soprano and Alto parts.
Auditions will consist of a short, prepared selection of past Good Company repertoire and tonal memory exercises. You will be sent materials ahead of time to prepare. No sight reading, additional solo or prepared piece is required.

Health & Safety
The COVID pandemic heightened everyone’s awareness of the impact of spreading viruses. We continue to expect singers to be vaccinated and, very importantly, to stay home when they are sick. By doing so, we care for the health of our fellow singers and the entire ensemble benefits.
