The Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University

So that our concert rehearsals and performances run as smoothly as possible, and in order to ensure a safe, well-ordered, and rewarding experience for all of our students, we require that all students be present for their scheduled concert rehearsal to be eligible to sing in a performance. 

Religious reasons concerning the student's immediate family are the sole exception to this attendance rule.  In order for us to plan well for our concerts and so we can ding a "concert buddy" for your child, a request for absence due to religious reasons must be submitted in writing at least four weeks prior to the performance.

We hold end-of-semester concerts in both Baltimore and Columbia. If you cannot make the concert rehearsal or concert at your own campus, and would like us to request that your child sing at the other location, please e-mail the Chorus Manager  at least FOUR WEEKS PRIOR TO THE PERFORMANCE.

 Important: A student may not arrive late for this rehearsal, or leave early.

Please plan ahead, especially if you are attending your first concert rehearsal at Peabody's Downtown Campus; it can be time consuming to find parking and then to make your way to the concert hall at this, the Preparatory's main campus.

If your child is late to a concert rehearsal due to a circumstance that is beyond your control, please DO NOT DISTURB the rehearsal. Instead, please have your child join the other children on stage as quietly as possible, and talk with Mrs. Falby after the rehearsal is over.

• Students must wear comfortable, flat shoes or sneakers to all rehearsals, including the Concert Rehearsal
• No food or drink is permitted in concert halls during rehearsals or concerts.
• Parents are not permitted to attend Concert Rehearsals.
