Practice and Location:      Rehearsals will be every other Tuesday from 4:45-5:45PM rehearsals                                                    in the Church. 
                                                  Tentative extra rehearsals maybe scheduled as needed. Parents will                                                    be provided with date well in advance to accommodate schedules. 

Who can join:                      Those who are in 3rd grade and above. 

When we sing:                     1st Sunday of each month at the Family Mass (9:30AM) & participate                                                     in our Music Ministry’s seasonal concerts as well.

Attendance policy:             Every member is expected to attend all rehearsals and Masses as                                                          listed on the calendar.  Please do not miss rehearsals or liturgies                                                            without communication with the Director. Communicating an                                                              absence of any sort is key to planning and being able to perform                                                          certain pieces. We are all in this together.   
                                                  
                                                  I understand life can be messy, and certainly everyone’s life is busy.                                                     You and your child are making the commitment to participate, and                                                     it is important that everyone is held to that level of commitment.                                                         Please do your best to do so. 

Communication:                 Messages and reminders pertaining to St. George Youth Choir will                                                        be sent via the Remind app (the icon looks like a speech bubble).
                                                  Instructions on how to join and use the app will be provided. 

                                                  As stated above, if your child/children cannot attend a rehearsal,                                                           Mass or other event, please let us know. We understand that life is                                                       messy, and things come up. We always ask for your cooperation in                                                       keeping the doors of communication open. 

Service Hour:                      We will only be able to sign the service hour forms for those                                                                    students who are present for at least 80% of scheduled                                                                            Masses/rehearsals. 

Bathroom breaks:            Please have your child use the bathroom before rehearsal.  We have a                                                 very limited amount of time to get through all the music.

Food and drink:               Members are allowed to bring water bottles to rehearsals, but no                                                           other outside food or drink permitted. 

Parent involvement:      Parents, please take the time to sing with your children in the car, or                                                    grocery store, in an elevator and most importantly when you are                                                          attending mass on our off weeks.  It helps support what we do here in                                                rehearsal.  

Sickness and germs:     Please don’t send your child come if they are running a fever or if you                                                  think they might be sick.  Stay home and get well.                                                                                      In other words...be greedy with your germs!  

Cancellations:                 If parish events are cancelled, we will not meet. Make sure we have all                                                 your contact information so that we can call you if we cancel rehearsal.                                               If you are in doubt, call the Parish Office, or check the parish website or                                               Facebook page.

Picking up & Drop off:    Parents/Guardians are expected to pick your child/children up                                                               promptly after rehearsal is over. We MUST see you pick up your                                                             children, even the older ones. High School Seniors who drive should                                                     let us know if they are driving themselves.  Let us know if they are                                                         going home with someone else.
