For any concert in which you plan to perform, you MUST attend the majority of the rehearsals. If you miss too many, you will be asked not to sing in the concert. At each rehearsal, there is a sign-in sheet where you can check off your name to indicate that you are present. It is very important that you remember to sign in each week, so that we can keep accurate records of attendance. If you are unable to get to Andover, we can usually arrange car-pooling with another chorus member.
Lunch is provided for a small fee.
The Saturday rehearsal is not mandatory, but it is very strongly recommended that you plan to attend, because a lot of important work gets done on the music. At no time will you be required to give the Chorus any money for membership dues, music fees, or anything else. The Chorus is a nonprofit organization funded primarily by grants and charitable contributions, so any donation you wish to make is always welcome, but is not a requirement of membership. We wish to encourage everyone who is interested to join the chorus, regardless of financial status. Typically, this music is a loan and you will be expected to return the music after the concert.
