		HOLY NAME PARISH CHOIR Open to teens of high school age and adults. A love of music, faithfulness to rehearsal, and "average" singing ability is expected.  This choir normally serves at the 10:00 a.m. Sunday Liturgy as well as the major feasts of the Liturgical year.
		INSTRUMENTAL/VOCAL ENSEMBLE Instrumentalists and vocalists are welcome to sing at the 12:00 noon Liturgy.  Presently we have a drummer, bassist, guitarist, pianist and song leaders.  We need another guitarist and someone to play our electronic keyboard.  A certain level of proficiency is expected - ability to sight read in different keys, and a certain mastery of the instrument.  If you study an instrument privately and are junior-high, high school of college level, please consider the ministry.  You are guaranteed to have fun, to know that you are fulfilling a specialized role in this ministry, and you will find your own growth in music and in prayer deepen and develop.
		CHILDREN'S CHOIR Open to grades 1 through 6 - an invitation is extended to children attending any school in the area.  Rehearsals begin at 3:30 p.m. after school and end at 4:15 p.m.  These are held on Mondays during the school year.  This choir sings about every 6 six weeks - at various Mass times. A calendar is given at the first rehearsal.
		HANDBELL CHOIR Three octave bells - belonging to the Minister of Music.  Choir is open to all teens, adults and children of grade five on up, who are ready for the coordination and challenge that playing bells requires.  Some ability of reading music and having a sense of rhythm is helpful.  Performance at Liturgies are according to a schedule that is prepared in advance.  Rehearsals are on Wednesdays.
		INSTRUMENTALISTS Advanced level of playing strings, winds or brass instruments are expecially invited.  All instruments give glory to God in the unique sound they produce through the skill of the player.  Sometimes a flute, oboe, trumpet or violin is used with our liturgies.  Please consider this your ministry if you have interest, the skill and the talent.
