Practice
and Memorization
All music must be memorized for performance. Memorization
checks will be done in class. Singers who miss a scheduled memorization
check for a piece will need to record themselves singing the piece on video and
send the file to the conductors. Singers who miss four or
more rehearsals and do not successfully complete a repertoire check will
unfortunately be asked not to participate in the concert(s).
