Join Us Chorister &
Family Commitment
2006-2007 SEASON
Membership in the Childrens Performing Chorus
Division: Jubilate, Bel Canto, Lyrique, & Cantabile Choirs,
is for the ENTIRE SEASON, September through May. It is imperative
that each family understands that this is a commitment for the year,
as our organization bases our financial, staffing and program decisions
on the number of choristers that begin the season in September.
Membership in the Early Childhood Division
of the Santa Barbara Childrens Chorus is by 12-week session.
WEEKLY REHEARSALS
Crucial
to the success of our educational program and to the individual
development of each singer is the consistent and punctual attendance
at all rehearsals. Limited absences are excused for illness, family
emergency, and if pre-arranged, for medical appointments, school
and church activities. Families are encouraged to carefully review
the time commitments and scheduling of other activities, e.g., sports,
dance, theater involvement, so as not to double book our rehearsals
with additional lessons, practices, and game commitments.
As an organization, we whole-heartedly support children
being involved in a variety of activities and are inclined to devise
workable solutions to scheduling conflicts, on a limited basis,
when approached significantly ahead of time and understanding that
the commitment to the chorus is a priority.
PERFORMANCES & CALENDAR
Santa Barbara Children's Chorus performances are
absolutely mandatory. As a performing ensemble every member is a
unique addition and essential for the success of every other member
and the chorus as a whole. We ask that parents please carefully
look at the chorus performance calendar and mark their family calendar
accordingly.
The chorus will publish our season calendar the summer
prior to
beginning in September, and will notify parents accordingly of any
changes or additions.
