Seventh and Eight                                                                graders can interview to be "Proctors/Leaders."

When we sing:                    During the Fall Semester we sing at the 9:30am Family Mass on                                                            October 6, November 3, December 8. We are also planning on                                                                singing at the 4:00pm Christmas Eve Mass. For the Spring                                                                      Semester, we will sing on February 2, March 2, April 13 (Palm                                                                  Sunday) and May 3 and the at the Family Mass (9:30AM). 

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.   
                                                  
                                                  We 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 Children's 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 through this app or by                                                              email. 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 to rehearsal or a liturgy if they are running                                               a fever or if you think they might be sick.  Stay home and get well.                                                         In other words...Please don't share your germs!  

Cancellations:                 If parish events are cancelled due to weather or other community                                                        concern, we will not meet. Make sure we have all your contact                                                               information so that we can send notice if we cancel rehearsal.
                                             Again, all communications will be sent using Remind (see above). 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. Let us know if they are going home                                                         with someone else.
