Support WCS While You Shop!

Ralph's Community Contribution Program is a vital fundraising source for the West Coast Singers, where you can shop at Ralphs as you normally do and Ralphs will donate a percentage of your shopping to West Coast Singers! Ralphs has recently changed their policy and are now asking that individually, each person who is either a current contributor or wanting to contribute, will need to access the Ralph's website and input their personal information. Please take a brief moment to fill out your name, address, Ralphs card number (found on the back of the red card, under the barcode), as well as the WCS NPO# which is 81672.

In the event that you do not have your Ralphs number, you can either call Ralphs Club Card Hotline from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 800-660-9003 to update your information using your phone number, or you can use the card at Ralphs and ask the cashier for the full number in order to update online. (It appears on the cashier's screen when you enter your phone number.) Your full club number no longer appears on your receipt.

Weekly rehearsals are every Monday from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m., from January through June, and September through early December, at the Angelus Plaza Senior Activity Center in downtown Los Angeles, 255 S. Hill St., at the northwest corner of 3rd & Hill.

West Coast Singers is the third oldest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered, mixed-voice chorus in the nation. The chorus consists of lesbian, gay, transgendered, bisexual, and heterosexual men and women who enjoy singing and the camaraderie of a community chorus. The chorus strives to achieve musical excellence and entertain audiences, as well as promote understanding, healing, and cooperation within the greater Los Angeles community.

On May 7, 2005, we performed our 2005 Spring Concert, “Road Trip Across America,” which included many familiar, fun tunes such as “Cabaret,” “Oklahoma,” and “Route 66,” and featured the premiere performance of the winning piece from our “Celebrate L.A.” choral composition contest.

At our 2004 Spring Concert we performed a diverse program including “You Can't Stop the Beat,” “Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now” (both from the hit musical Hairspray), and “Elijah Rock,” among others. West Coast Singers also participated and performed in the 2004 GALA (Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses) festival held July 16-24, 2004, in Montreal.

We performed at the Los Angeles Gay Rodeo and at a 2004 memorial service, held at the new Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels, commemorating the fifth-year anniversary of the hate-motivated shootings of Joseph Santos Ileto and people at the North Valley Jewish Community Center.
