Statement of Policies

We want to be sure that everyone is aware of our most important policies, for they help us to focus on the work at hand and achieve our goal of creating a great artistic experience for our singers without distraction or misunderstanding. Therefore, all relevant clauses must be agreed to and acted upon in order to participate in chorus. Submission of the Family Information Form represents your agreement and acceptance of all clauses. Thank you for your assistance and support.

Cell Phone Use

Cell phone use of any kind (calling, texting, taking photographs or video) is prohibited during chorus rehearsal. Singers may use phones before and after rehearsal, and during designated breaks. Cell phones must be turned off during rehearsal. After one warning, cell phone use may result in expulsion.

Attendance

Training Choir and Choristers are 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, a 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.

Cantate members 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.

All students must have written notification from the parent in order to leave rehearsal early, unless the parent is present and signs the student out with the Chorus Manager.

All students must attend his or her regular campus weekly rehearsal immediately before a concert rehearsal.

All students must attend their scheduled Concert Rehearsal to be eligible to sing in a performance. If your child cannot make the Concert Rehearsal or Concert(s) at his or her own campus, and you would like to request that your child sing at the other location, please let us know at least FOUR WEEKS PRIOR TO THE PERFORMANCE.
