There are 11 weeks before the concert on July 6th so in accordance with the ‘75% Rule’ members should miss no more than three rehearsals in this session.
If additional unplanned absence is unavoidable, members are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the play lists and rehearsal tracks provided and ensure that they are confident enough to sing in the concert.
The final rehearsal on the afternoon of the concert is always compulsory.
Anyone who is unavailable on the day of the concert or knows they will have missed too many rehearsals to take part is still welcome to come along on Tuesday evenings, with the exception of the final Tuesday of the session when we ask that only those singing in the concert attend.
Vocal scores are available to borrow.
If you wish to use your own score, please make sure that you have the OUP editions of the Chilcott and Rutter songs. The Stroman songs will be provided.
Subs for the session (11 weeks) are £70.
Please pay online (contact the Treasurer for the banking details) or by cheque/cash.
