Attendance
- Mapleton Chorale members are allowed
three absences per rehearsal “semester” (Sept through Dec and Jan
through
May). Where
possible, absences must be
reported to the section leader in advance of the absence. In addition, members are
required to be in
attendance at the final two rehearsals prior to a performance and must
participate in all performances unless excused by the director.
Chorale members are given the opportunity each year to
audition for a 20-28 voice chamber ensemble that rehearses seperately from the full Chorale at a time determined by the director, and performs at each concert. Chamber
Ensemble members are committed to the extra rehearsal time and additional personal preparation time needed to learn the music. Currently, the Chamber Ensemble rehearses at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday evenings at Maple Mountain High School.
