Choralis Hoops
Please use this page to fulfill your Choralis Hoops Pledges. Generous rounding-up is encouraged!
March Madness is back this year! And if one thing is certain for this season, it will be madness! Choralis Hoops is an online betting opportunity for the NCAA’s March Madness tournament. The proceeds of all betting go to Choralis, but the winner gets bragging rights for a year, a Choralis jersey or hoodie, along with opportunities for banter and trash talk!!

Joining is as easy as:

2) Enter your Bracket Group password when prompted.
3) You're in!
4) Follow the “How to Play” instructions below.
How to Play:
Wait until Sunday. At 6:00, the NCAA Gods will populate the first round of brackets. After that you can make your choices. CBS is very user friendly and will help you do it right even if you have no idea what you are doing.
Make all your choices, then make your pledge. You can pledge ANYTHING. You can pledge $1 for each pick you get right, you can pledge $5 for each pick you get wrong, you can pledge $0.38 for each time a team from Texas scores a basket (not recommended, it makes for very hard math at the end and would probably prove pricey), you can pledge $100 if/when Duke loses.
The winner gets bragging rights and a jersey or hoodie of their choice from your board of directors.
Gala Sponsorship
I cannot attend the Gala but would like to make a donation.
A donation of $1000 or more will be considered a Gala Sponsorship with recognition in all Gala materials
A donation of $295 will "Support a Conductor" to attend the Gala as a guest of Choralis.
Any donation of at least $100 will be recognized as a "Friend of the Choralis Gala" in the event program.
Chilcott Commission
It is our great pleasure to announce that Choralis and the Children’s Chorus of Washington will collaborate to commission a work by renowned
British Composer Bob Chilcott featuring both choruses. The work, Rainbow, is scheduled for a world premier in Washington D.C. in May
2025. Your Campaign participation will bring a new choral masterpiece to life and provide great opportunities for singers of all ages to
experience the extraordinary musical vision and talent of Bob Chilcott. We welcome you on this special musical journey and thank you in
advance for your invaluable support.
