{ These are not rules but simply guidelines which are intended to tighten up our operation and I am more than happy to have conversations with individuals where necessary and helpful. Most of these are a result of my strokes and finding it difficult to conduct a rehearsal! }

Attendance
-
Expectation: 80% Minimum but including the final two rehearsals before an event.

It is desirable to attend the ‘note-bashing’ rehearsals.

I will publish A rehearsal schedule will be published on the members area of the website to better help you plan and prepare.
-
The Final two rehearsals before an event may include guests (financial implications) to support our short-comings.
-
If you know that you are not available let me know in advance for planning purposes.
-
A register will be taken at each rehearsal for H&S and safe guarding reasons

Those missing important rehearsals or falling bellow 80% may be asked to sit out an event.

Rehearsal Etiquette
This is just being respectful to other members and presenting ourselves in a professional manner.
-
Arrive as prepared as you can be with folders organised and rehearsal material s visited where appropriate.
-
Raise your hand if you know that you have made a mistake; don’t expect the rehearsal to stop. I will judge. Hand up just acknowledges that you know that you made a mistake and I assume that you will personally fix the issue (use the rehearsal materials on the website). If several hands are raised I will address the issue.
-
Learn all parts; This should stop all the unnecessary and rude constant talking and will give you a better understanding of the music. It will also allow us to adapt pieces if necessary when we are short of voice parts.
-
No talking when I am.
-
Have a pencil and mark your score!
-
Questions after singing or instructions – hand up – let me answer!!!! I might struggle, but I will ask for help if needed.
