Attendance
Continuing membership in the chorus requires participation in the
Christmas and Spring concerts and no more than four absences from
rehearsal each semester. Dress rehearsals count as two absences.
Singers who have
maintained continuous members for two years may request a semester
off. The request should be made in writing to the board president.
In cases of health issues or unforeseen circumstances, contact the
board president as soon as possible.
Members are
responsible for the maintenance and return of Civic Chorus folders
and music. Music that is returned after the concert date will be
assessed a $10 late fee. Unreturned music will be charged to the
singer. New music will not be distributed until singers have
returned the music from previous concerts and paid fines.
Evening on Broadway
Now is the time to think about solos/ensembles for this year's
production.
Sign up at rehearsal or contact Karen McBride at
