We have a professional
sound.
Our professionalism is
completed by LOOKING professional.
Our audience deserves our best effort
- Be on the
risers ready to sing at the designated call time - come warmed up.
- The performance
starts as we line up to go on stage, and all the time until we return
backstage.
- During the
pre-performance line up process - do not talk and wait for
instructions from the Conductor.
- Music must be in a
black folder. When entering and leaving the stage, the folder is held
down by your side and always facing the audience.
- On stage be
comfortable, focused and ENGAGED. You know the music so look
confident, not concerned.
- NO talking at any
time when in the public's view. Concentrate your full attention on the
Conductor.
- Your music will stay
by your side until you receive the signal from the Conductor. Have
your first page of singing tabbed so you can go to it easily.
- When we are not
singing, CLIP your music pages with paper clips. Do NOT 'follow
along'. Immediately turn to the next section. Stay still. Look up and
be a part of the audience. Do not move. Enjoy the other performers.
- Quiet page turning is
a MUST - a quiet page turn is the sign of an attentive choral singer.
- At the end of a
movement - eyes front to the Conductor and do not move or turn the
page until the movement is completely over and the orchestra/soloists
have finished.
- At the end of the
performance close you music and return it to your audience facing
side.
- Remember to bring
"treats" for the reception if applicable.
REMEMBER:
HEADS UP - FOCUS - ARTICULATE - ENJOY - SMILE
