The Santa Cruz chorus rehearses on Tuesdays, 6:00 – 7:30 PM, starting September 20.
Everyone is welcome, there are no auditions and no singing experience is necessary (experienced singers are also welcome, and there are solo opportunities for those who would like them). All parts are taught by ear, and musical transcriptions are provided.
All ages 9 through 99 are welcome. The chorus will perform several times throughout the year, principally in December and in the spring.
If you’ve never experienced the magic of singing in a choir, or if you’ve always thought of yourself as someone who “just can’t sing”, this is a great way to start.

As parents, we want to raise the kind of people that can not only be functioning members of society, but can tackle the big problems the current generation is failing to solve. We know that the old ways of harsh discipline and unrealistic expectations don’t work anymore (and may not have been very good in the first place). So what do we do instead?
Join Tina McRorie, MA for this 90 minute workshop (part of the Attached at the Heart Parenting Program from Attachment Parenting International) and learn positive, effective ways to guide your children. Who knows, you may even find your entire parenting paradigm shifting.

Water’s Extreme Journey
Wednesday–Sunday, 10am – 4pm, September 3 – December 31
Visitors to the Seymour Marine Discovery Center this fall will be able to experience the journey of a single drop of water when they take part in Water’s Extreme Journey, a hands-on, interactive maze designed by Minotaur Mazes. The Water’s Extreme Journey maze takes visitors on a wild role-playing adventure where they are transformed into a raindrop and challenged to stay clean. Visitors are sent on a journey through mountains, streams, and even their own backyards, where everyday decisions impact their chance of staying clean and reaching a healthy ocean.
This fully interactive maze experience engages visitors through play, scientific inquiry, art and action, illuminating human impacts great and small while teaching how to contribute to healthy, safe water in their community and beyond. The maze also will highlight water research happening at UC Santa Cruz and in the greater community, and encourage people to support clean water initiatives. Features within the maze have been tailored to represent Santa Cruz County water issues. Exploring the maze is included with admission to the Seymour Center.
The Water’s Extreme Journey maze takes visitors on an exciting and important quest for clean water. Visitors experience the watershed as a water drop, exploring firsthand the science behind the water cycle. But it’s not all wet and wild—through powerful interactive activities and local messaging, visitors realize that daily decisions can immediately improve the watershed in their own backyard. Come visit Water’s Extreme Journey!
