TGMC is currently on our summer break, but we'll soon start work on our 2011-2012 concert season.
It's not too early to start thinking about how you can help us make the coming season our best ever.
If you would like to help TGMC, there are lots of  ways to do so, even if you 'aren't a singer'!   
  
We're always happy to have outgoing individuals help out at our concerts, welcoming our audience guests, handing out programs, taking tickets, etc.
Plus, you get the added bonus of seeing the concert absolutely free and meeting some great new friends.

Below we've listed other ways to support TGMC.
