Our Mission
Our goal as a women's ensemble is to encourage and empower young women. We believe in
following your dreams and believing in yourself! We want to work as a force for good in our
community to give hope to girls who otherwise would feel that they had none.
Rehearsal
Music
o YOU are responsible for your music. After your binder and music are given to you, it is
your job to keep track of it. After a set of performances is over, please turn in all of your
music inside your numbered binder. The binder will be returned to you at the start of the
next rehearsal with new music.
o If you didn’t get a piece of music, let Valerie or Emily know and they will see about
getting you a piece.

Performances
o Do not depend on another person in your section. Use your own ears, eyes, and mind.
o Turn off your cell phone or silence it during rehearsal. Cell phones are not to be on your
person during performances. No exceptions!
o Please save Valerie and Emily's numbers in your phone:
Valerie 843.251.6922
Emily 843.957.4168
Attendance Policy
• To be in good standing, all you have to do is excuse yourself (call or email) ahead of time
if you are going to be absent or late, with at least 24 hours’ notice.
• If you have schedule conflicts with any rehearsals or performances, please let us know as
soon as possible. If I had my way, you’d all be here for every rehearsal!
• It may seem like there are enough people in the choir without you, and that it isn’t as
significant that you are there, but it is very important that you make a commitment to
being here as often as you can. You will get the most out of the choir experience, and
we'll have a consistent idea of what the choir group sound is. We need you!
If you are here regularly and on time (which means about 10 minutes EARLY), you will benefit
greatly. You can:
• Socialize,
Also, your voice will improve with the vocal techniques we pass on to you and with the time
you devote to singing each week.

For UNEXCUSED absences (meaning you didn’t call or email), we have a 3 strikes & out policy:
3rd time - out for the rest of the concert series, allowed to rejoin for the next series
NOTE: It is very important that you notify us if you will be late or absent. It may happen that we
are doing a more difficult piece that may need a full section. If everyone from your section calls
in an hour before rehearsal we are left high & dry and don’t have enough time to find someone
if need be to cover the section. However, if we know a day in advance that everyone in your
section is gone, we have time to make arrangements.
Your membership and regular attendance will imply that you understand and accept these
policies. Thank you for being a member of this choir and making the commitment to the group
for its continued success!
