Woodland Screechers
Pride Community Choir
The Woodland Screechers is a unique “pop-up” community choir themed around Queer (LGBTQ+) Pride. We rehearse 2-3 times in the “wood-lands” between Iron-wood and Ash-land before performing at Pride events and festivals in these two towns. We have built a beautiful community of singers in our 3 years of existence, supporting each other and building meaningful connections. We welcome people of all ages, with any vocal range or ability. Participants do not need to identify as queer to participate; allies are welcome as well. The choir is directed by Vincent Schueren and accompanied by Sean VanZeeland.
