Recycling That Hits the Right Note!
It’s been a while since our last update — but we’re back with something easy, impactful, and music-filled!
Rhythm of the Rockies is proud to partner with SkipTheDepot, which is a convenient way to recycle your bottles and cans without having to make the trip to the depot!
When you schedule a pickup through the SkipTheDepot app, you can choose to donate your refund directly to our chorus. Your support helps us cover rehearsal space, music, coaching, and performance costs — and every little bit helps keep the harmony going strong.

Fall Singing Social
What a great turnout! Nine guests and six alumni joined us in November to learn about barbershop harmony and sing some songs with us. We really enjoyed sharing our love of this acapella harmony style of singing and teaching them a tag and a song that we sang together. There were also goodies afterwards – yum! Can't wait for the next one!
