The Santa Clara Chorale is funded in part by grants from the City of Santa Clara and Arts Council Silicon Valley in partnership with the County of Santa Clara and the California Arts Council.
Attendance Policy
The attendance policy is in force to ensure the quality of the Chorale’s performance. Adherence to the policy is a sign of professionalism and respect to the other members of the Chorale. The rehearsal periods are provided to allow each member time to learn the music and to improve their performance. All members of the Chorale are expected to adhere to the attendance policy.
There will be an attendance sheet at each rehearsal. You will be responsible for marking your own attendance. If the roll is not marked, you will be assumed absent. For each concert period only three absences are permitted. Two or three absences -- you will be responsible for attending a performance check. Four or more absences -- you will not be allowed to sing in the concert.
A tardy of more than 15 minutes will be considered an absence. If you are more than 15 minutes late, you may still participate in the rehearsal for your own benefit, but know that you will be marked absent. If you know you will be absent or late, please contact your section lead.
If during the course of rehearsals serious conflicts arise, contact the Artistic Director for his advice.
