1 Welcome to the National Philharmonic Chorale You are part of a talented and diverse group of musicians, under the experienced leadership of Dr. Stan Engebretson and Victoria Gau, and accompanied by Dr. Theodore Guerrant. This handbook is your comprehensive guide to the basics of Chorale membership. It contains policies and procedures for everything from attendance and ticket sale expectations to links to the rehearsal schedule for the year and Chorale directory. Our season will be busy musically and organizationally, with many opportunities to put our non-singing skills to work on the business side of music-making. The Volunteer Roster lists those opportunities and the names of members currently serving in those roles. Please think about where you could lend your expertise, and sign up when the call for help goes out. Welcome to a fantastic year of making great music together! NP Chorale Operations Committee Ruth Faison, Chair Carolyn Chuhta Sara Josey Melissa Lieberman Susan Murray Sarah Wagoner Updated February 2017
2 REHEARSALS The Chorale schedule is available at: Weekly Weekly rehearsals are mandatory. Tuesdays, 7:30 10 p.m. Strathmore, Room 405 Each week, please: Be on time. We begin promptly at 7:30. Note: If you are late, please minimize the disruption. Stand to the side or in back and wait for a break in singing to take your seat. Check in with your section s Attendance Manager on arrival. Be prepared: Bring your score(s) and pencils. Know the music. Note: Because rehearsal time is limited, individual practice is highly recommended. Recordings, including some recommended by the conductors, are frequently available on YouTube. Learning files for individual voice parts for some pieces will be available on our hottub website. Observe rehearsal etiquette. Concert Week Mandatory dress rehearsals are generally on the afternoon of the concert. Concert dress is not required for dress rehearsals. Additional mandatory rehearsals usually one additional night are held with the orchestra during concert weeks. Please note: Changes in schedule and other important announcements may be communicated at rehearsals or through during concert weeks. 1
3 Seating assignments may change to balance sound and account for absences; Per the musicians unit bargaining agreement, no audio or video recording of the orchestra is allowed. All rehearsals are closed to the public. They are for Chorale members only. Observe stage rules. Retreats Members are expected to attend two to three retreats per season. These retreats are extended rehearsals held at a nearby location, usually: Other Rehearsals Saturdays, 10 a.m. 1 p.m. Montgomery College, Rockville Campus 51 Mannakee Street Rockville, MD Other rehearsals may be scheduled as needed, and members are strongly encouraged to participate. These rehearsals may include: Sectionals to help solidify section s command of notes and unify sound (with every attempt to accommodate section members schedules); Early-bird sessions held by Artistic Staff, generally half an hour before weekly rehearsals (i.e., 7 p.m.), to work through difficult passages; and Emergency rehearsals held by Artistic Staff if ensemble progress is not adequate. 2
4 ATTENDANCE If you must miss a rehearsal or you will be late, notify your Section Leaders and Attendance Manager. It is your responsibility to master any material you miss. Your Section Leader can provide missed score markings and instructions. If you miss two or more mandatory rehearsals per concert, your Section Leader or Assistant Section Leader may sit near you to assess your progress. He/she may consult with Artistic Staff, who may then ask to hear you sing to evaluate your concert readiness. After three unexplained absences, your Section Leader will make one attempt to contact you by phone and to determine your intentions. If you later attend a rehearsal, the Artistic Staff may ask to hear you sing to evaluate your concert readiness. If you are sick and possibly contagious, stay home but contact your Section Leader and Attendance Manager. If you are well enough to attend but not sing, please sit in the back to listen and take notes. In bad weather or other emergencies, check your for rehearsal cancellations and changes. If Strathmore is closed, rehearsal is cancelled. Note: If you are uncomfortable driving to rehearsal, use your best judgment. Notify your Section Leader and Attendance Manager. Your absence will be excused. 3

Only official IA stagehands are allowed to move stands and chairs. The National Philharmonic has been fined for violating union rules in the past. Note: NP Operations and Production Manager Kyle Schick is listed in the Strathmore-National Philharmonic contract as a temporary stagehand, so if furniture must be moved or a chair must be lifted, ask him to do it. On stage during a concert, you may have only your music in a black music folder and a small, capped water bottle. No purses or other personal belongings are allowed. 7

Its repertoire ranges from the 15th to the 21st century, including premieres of new compositions by local composers. The Singers perform two to three concerts per year, including outreach concerts in the community. Membership is drawn largely from the Chorale and auditions are held periodically to fill existing vacancies. Rehearsals are held regularly on Sunday evenings.
