HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS

Late Arrival
If you are going to arrive late to rehearsal, please text Erin (902 300 9840). When you arrive late, please text and you will be let in. It is our policy NOT to answer the doorbell.
Missing Rehearsals
If you know ahead of time that you must miss a rehearsal, please email Erin (eringaudet06@gmail.com) AND Christina (xara.choir@gmail.com) AND Claire (claire.xara@gmail.com) Please send ALL known rehearsal conflicts by next Saturday (September 18th) at the very latest.
If you need to suddenly miss a rehearsal, please email and/or text Erin, Christina and Claire. If you are able to attend rehearsal due to illness (even if you can’t sing or move around a lot) that is preferable to missing rehearsal altogether.
Fees
We will discuss fees for the term at rehearsal next week.
