Level Up! Vocal Ensemble has resumed in-person rehearsal and performance. We are still following careful health protocols, including vaccination and masking requirements to keep our members and community safe. Read more here
Below is general information about our ensemble and a Join form to reach out to us!
Welcome!
We are a non-auditioned community choir that accepts singers of all backgrounds and skill levels. You don’t have to be a gamer to join us, either - though an appreciation of video game music will help since that’s what we sing! We also strive to maintain a respectful and welcoming space, and are a LGBTQIA2+ welcoming ensemble.
IMPORTANT: Members must be over the age of 18 to join the choir. (Sorry if that means you have to wait....)
Rehearsal
Rehearsals are generally Friday evenings in the Phinney neighborhood of Seattle. There are opportunities for members to stretch their musical skills by helping run rehearsals, teach pieces, conduct in practice or performance, and more! You can talk with your section leader or a board member to find out more info when you join the ensemble.
We care about our members and observe careful health protocols. You can read all the details on our Health & Safety page, but here's the TL;DR:
Proof of full series COVID-19 vaccine and the 2022 bivalent booster shot are required.
KN-95 or N-95 masks are required at rehearsals, performances, and all official LU!VE events.
Follow exposure and testing guidelines on the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/isolation.html
Sections
We do not assign voice parts, but instead allow members to choose their own class. Can you rock tenor and alto? Alto and soprano? Soprano on one song and bass on another? Level Up! is a place to explore what feels right for you - even if that means switching parts between songs. And if you don't know what "part" you are, we will help you figure that out, too!
Members-Only Discord
Level Up! has a members-only Discord server where we learn, share resources and memes, build community, and celebrate our passions (and favorite VGM tracks).
Arranging
Level Up! has an active group of members who arrange video game songs and scores for the choir to perform. If you’re less interested in stage time and more interested in being behind the creative scenes, you’re welcome to join us and be a Phantom of the Ensemble.
(If you are a VGM composer interested in working with Level Up! please use our Contact form to reach out to us.)
