How to Visit or Attend a South Florida Jubilee Chorus Rehearsal
Updated
South Florida Jubilee Chorus rehearses every Thursday evening at 7pm at the Polynesian Gardens Condominium Clubhouse, 400 NW 68th Ave, Plantation, FL 33317. All rehearsals are open to the public and to potential new members, so you can simply show up — no invitation or prior contact is required. This applies whether you just want to watch a rehearsal or are considering joining the chorus.
What to Expect at a Rehearsal
South Florida Jubilee is an award-winning treble chorus performing a cappella barbershop-style music in four-part harmony, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The chorus is part of Region 9 Coastal Harmony, one of 24 regions that make up Sweet Adelines International.
Because rehearsals are open, you'll be watching (or participating in) a working rehearsal rather than a staged concert. Expect the group to run through repertoire, work on harmony and blend, and prepare for competitions and performances.
Step-by-Step: Attending a Rehearsal
- Pick a Thursday. Rehearsals are held every Thursday evening at 7pm.
- Go to the venue. Polynesian Gardens Condominium Clubhouse, 400 NW 68th Ave, Plantation, FL 33317.
- Arrive for the 7pm start. Note that some listed events show a 7:15pm start time for "SFJ Rehearsal" — the recurring rehearsal time stated on the site is 7pm, so plan to arrive by 7pm.
- Introduce yourself if you're interested in joining. The chorus explicitly welcomes potential new members at rehearsals.
No ticket purchase is needed for rehearsals — they are open to the public. Tickets are only relevant for specific performances (see below).
