Auditions

Auditions will be 15 minutes in length. Singers will match pitches and echo sing with Ms. Curry, and parents will receive information about the Memphis Children's Chorale season.

Requirements

The MCC  policies regarding attendance are part of learning the discipline and dedication required to produce an excellent choral program.  While these policies are enforced, there are certainly enough leniencies for students to be involved in any other extracurricular activity, such as school drama/musicals, or sports teams.  It is the responsibility of the chorister or parent to confirm that these will not conflict with their commitment to MCC and their fellow choristers.

  • Students are allowed no more than 3 absences a semester

  • Students are not allowed to miss 2 consecutive rehearsals. If a student misses two consecutive rehearsals due to illness, a medical leave of absence may be granted. Any other reason can lead to suspension or dismissal. If a student is suspended or dismissed their tuition fees will not be refunded

  • Absences from rehearsals are to be in writing (email or note) as far in advance as possible.  Final rehearsals prior to concerts are required in order to participate in the performance. Excessive tardiness is not allowed. 

  • Students are to arrive at least 5 minutes prior to the scheduled rehearsal each week.

  • Students are responsible for having their assigned folder every week in rehearsal.  This folder can be picked up from the director.
