Out of the Blue Chorus
24/25 Attendance Guidlines
At Out of the Blue Chorus, we understand that life commitments and unexpected circumstances may arise that prevent members from attending every rehearsal or performance. However, consistent attendance is crucial for the success and cohesion of our choir community and for each member’s singing experience. Our attendance guidelines balance flexibility and the importance of regular participation in Out of the Blue Chorus.
Commitment to Attendance: We encourage all members to prioritize attendance at rehearsals and performances to the best of their ability. Regular participation contributes to the overall musical quality of our performances and strengthens the sense of unity and camaraderie within the choir.
Communication: If you cannot attend a rehearsal or performance due to unforeseen circumstances or prior commitments, please notify us at info@ootbchorus.ca when possible. Clear communication helps us plan rehearsals effectively and ensures that all members are informed about any changes or adjustments to the schedule.
Flexible Attendance: We recognize that members may have conflicting obligations such as work, family, or health-related issues. While we encourage consistent attendance, we understand that occasional absences are unavoidable. Please communicate any lengthy absences, scheduling conflicts, or absences in advance whenever possible.
Accountability: While we strive to maintain a supportive and inclusive atmosphere, regular attendance is important for individual growth and the choir's success. Members who consistently miss rehearsals may need to assess whether full membership in the OOTB Chorus fits their lifestyle.
Encouragement and Support: We understand that life can be unpredictable and are here to support each other through challenges and obstacles. If circumstances affect regular attendance, please ask leadership for assistance.
By adhering to this attendance policy, we strive to maintain a supportive and cohesive choir community in which EVERY voice and EVERY member is valued and contributes to our collective musical journey.
