Attendance Policies
Also, be sure to see concert rehearsal attendance policies!
The Peabody Children's Chorus is an ensemble committed to musical excellence.
If any member of that ensemble is missing, the character, spirit and sound of the whole is altered. Each individual voice and personality is of great importance to all. Your child's consistent attendance will ensure that s/he becomes a vital part of the Peabody Children's Chorus.
Training Choir and Choristers
Each child is allowed two absences per semester (semesters run September -December, and January -May). After two absences in one semester, a student must make-up any missed rehearsals at the other campus; otherwise, the student will be prohibited from participating in any concerts that semester due to the student's lack of rehearsal preparation. Exceptions may be made in extreme cases.
Chorale
Our Chorale members are the leaders of the chorus and we have high expectations for this select group of students. Therefore, these young professionals-in-training are expected to attend every rehearsal and to make-up any missed rehearsals by attending the other campus. Exceptions may be made in extreme cases.
A student may not leave a rehearsal early without the permission of the instructor and written notification from the parent. We want to be sure that our students are safe at all times.
It is especially important that every student attend his or her regular campus weekly rehearsal immediately before a concert rehearsal. This mandatory rehearsal is part of a carefully thought out sequence of training which prepares the student for performance, and allows each child to participate in concerts with confidence and comfort.
