New Members please

to participate in a brief audition with John, so that he may hear all
voices individually, to ensure that singers are placed in the appropriate
section. *This is an extremely brief, no stress audition (singing up or
down a scale) and is not to be of any concern to potential members. If you
are interested in joining the choir, but cannot attend this first
rehearsal, please contact music director John Goulart at johngoulart@shaw.ca

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FOR CHOIR MEMBERS
 |
Choir rehearsal begins at 7 pm. Please be on time. |
|
Extra rehearsals are sometimes scheduled before performances and will
be announced by John well before the concert date. Look for
details in the above rehearsal schedule. |
|
Sectional practices are held during rehearsal time. |
|
Attendance is strongly encouraged as absenteeism affects the quality
of our rehearsals and ultimately our performances. Please email John
if you are unable to attend choir rehearsal. |
|
Choir members are reminded to refrain from talking during rehearsals
(please save your talking for our 10 minute break) and from stomping
your foot to keep time. |
|
Choir members are expected to be familiar with the music assigned by
the Music Director for the following week's rehearsal.
When choir members come prepared, rehearsal time is more productive
and enjoyable for everyone. |
|
Choir members are expected to do their best to sell tickets, help with
poster distribution and promoting our concerts. Many hands make
light work. |

We
are a fragrance-free choir |
