ATTENDANCE POLICY:

Regular attendance at rehearsals by singing members is vital to the Chorale’s musical balance and quality.  It is your responsibility to notify one of your section leaders when you must miss a rehearsal. Contact information for section leaders is provided below. If you miss more than three rehearsals during a single concert season (Fall 2021 or Spring 2022), it is your responsibility to either:

1. Approach the director to demonstrate command of the music

2. Excuse himself or herself from performing in that concert

The director MUST allow the singer to show command of the music and must evaluate the singer’s proficiency prior to the dress rehearsal of that particular concert to be permitted to participate in the concert.

*If either of the above options is not selected by the member, the member will respect the director’s decision. It is the responsibility of the singers to inform the Chorale when they need to miss a rehearsal.  Singers must contact one of their designated section leaders as soon as they know that a rehearsal will be missed.
