EXPECTATIONS
:

We are far more than just a collection of voices. We are an ensemble. Choral singing is a very powerful art form because of the way so many diverse voices and expressive feelings can meld into one unified sound. We can only accomplish this if we truly develop as a unit. That is far more than knowing the notes – it’s forming a sound, a spirit – in essence, creating the “music.” In order to do that, all members need to attend all rehearsals, arriving on time, and staying for the entire session, maintaining a high level of alertness to the music being made during that time. However, the most productive people are often very busy people, and conflicts will arise. In the case of a conflict causing you to miss, arrive late, or leave early, please contact Margie in advance so she can plan more effectively. In the case of a situation that will make it necessary for you to consistently arrive late or leave a little early, please make her aware of that as well, again, for planning purposes. At any rate – please make arrangements in such a way that you will not miss more than a maximum of three rehearsals. With your attention to these expectations we will surely achieve our potential. Thanks!!
