Welcome!

Bay Ocean Community Chorus is an inclusive choral collective that uplifts, inspires, and enriches the spirit and quality of our community through performance, education and outreach. 

About Us

Many of you may know the Tillamook Community Chorus. It was a music icon in our community for 40+ years. Due to the pandemic we had to make the heart wrenching decision to shut it down.
 
However, in 2024 the spirit of choral music came to life! It is now Bay Ocean Community Chorus (BOCC) and we made our debut in September of 2024! We are excited, energized and blessed to sing and share the love of choral music with our community once again.
 
We invite you to come join us – either as a participant or in our audience. We appreciate your encouragement & support.

DO YOU LIKE TO SING?

There are no auditions for the chorus and it's not required that you know how to read music. It is necessary and important that you do all you can to learn the music by the scheduled concert time.
 
Whatever your level of experience, we hope you’ll enjoy performing exciting choral music with excellence.
