Maintain a regular practice schedule outside of rehearsal. Even if you don't play piano or sight-read well, a daily score review of 20 minutes will help you mentally practice things like diction, rhythm, pronunciation, and dynamics. Weekly piano rehearsals are where we become a choir. Final rehearsals are ultimately important for the gel of all forces. Thus, chorus members should place a high priority on regular rehearsal attendance.
Attendance is recorded at all rehearsals.
At the same time, our professional mission makes a rigorous and fairly administered attendance standard necessary. On your third absence, you will be required to attend a singing test held prior to the orchestral conductor's piano rehearsal. At that time, a final determination will be made as to your eligibility to sing in the concert. Should you need to miss a rehearsal, you should notify the Chorus Manager . Absences for the final orchestral rehearsals are strongly discouraged and must be approved by the DPC Director .
