1 BEL CANTO CHOIRS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES This document is intended as a guideline only. Its purpose is to guide members in the efficient and organized running of the choir. Some of the procedures described herein will likely need to be changed in order to adapt to the changing face of the choir. A. INTRODUCTION The name "Bel Canto" is Italian for "beautiful singing" or "beautiful song". The Bel Canto Choirs Association is a registered Society in the Province of British Columbia and represents three highly skilled choirs with a long history of excellence in choral production and community engagement, and have been providing beautiful singing to the residents of Prince George and the world since The Bel Canto Choirs operates three choirs: the Bel Canto Children s Choir, the Bel Canto Youth Choir and the adult choir, Northern Voices. 1. BEL CANTO CHILDRENS CHOIR The Bel Canto Children s Choir is an introductory choir for children aged 6 to 12 years old. Children learn about choral singing and performance and develop singing skills in a structured professional environment. The Children s Choir participates in a minimum of one main stage choral performance per term, usually in participation with the Youth Choir or as mass performances with all three Bel Canto choirs. The Children s Choir may also produce its own musical theatre performance, participate in the Prince George Music Festival, or participate in other community performances depending on the annual schedule. 2. BEL CANTO YOUTH CHOIR The Bel Canto Youth Choir is intended to be an advanced choir for children aged 13 to 25 years old. The Youth chorister learns about choral singing and performances and develops their singing skills in a structured environment. The Youth Choir participates in one or two main stage choral performances per term, either as independent performances or as mass performances with the other Bel Canto choirs. The Youth Choir may travel to music festivals or other choral events nationally or internationally. The Youth Choir produces its own musical theatre performances, participates in the Prince George Music Festival as well as participates in other community performances depending on the annual schedule. Any Youth chorister over the age of 18 years is to complete and file a Consent for Disclosure of Criminal Record Information as required by all adults involved in the choir activities. 3. NORTHERN VOICES The adult choir, Northern Voices, is a project choir for adults aged 18 years and up. It is a choir where adults who find they have little time to participate in song due to busy schedules and life commitments, can engage in choral singing and performances and develop their singing skills in a structured environment, with minimal commitment. The adult choir participates in one main stage choral performance per term, usually in participation with the Youth Choir or as mass performances with all three Bel Canto choirs.

TRAVEL It is expected that, whenever possible, the Youth Choir shall travel at least once per choral session. A trip information sheet and commitment form will be sent home to all Choristers in the early fall. In order for the Artistic Director to plan a balanced choir for performance, Bel Canto requires a commitment from the Choristers by returning the registration form and a non refundable deposit by the commitment date as set out in the travel schedule. A monthly trip payment schedule will be determined at that time, and arrangements can be made with the Treasurer for any variations. If a
6 Bel Canto Policies and Procedures (Continued) Revised September, 2012 Page 6 chorister, after returning their trip registration form and deposit, decides NOT to travel, refunds will be issued on a pro rated basis at the discretion of the Board, up to 60 days prior to the departure date. No refunds will be issued after this date. While the choir is traveling, the name Bel Canto Choirs of Prince George will be used. Chaperones for travel and overnight excursions are chosen from the Board at the suggestion of the Artistic Director. These chaperones will have shown that they are willing to spend the time necessary in order to have a good knowledge of individual choristers and choir procedures. Chaperone duties are outlined in Appendix E. Travel expenses for the Musical Director, Accompanist and official chaperones shall be paid for by the Choir. Chorister travel costs are to be paid for by the chorister/chorister s family. 75% of the total trip fee must be paid to Bel Canto by a set date in order to travel. (Motion #3) Expectations for behavior of Choristers during travel is outlined in Appendix F. Crescendo and practices will be used by Board members to monitor chorister interaction with other choristers and Board members, the ability to follow instructions, the ability to sleep overnight away from parents, as well as general behavior. Choristers who the Board deems not ready to travel will be addressed in the following order: 1. Give a verbal warning to chorister with parent present; 2. Chorister not included in the choir trip for that year. I. CHORISTER EXPECTATIONS 1. ATTENDANCE Choir is a year long commitment, from September to April or May. In order to be prepared for performances and reduce the requirement for extra rehearsals, it is essential that the Chorister attend every rehearsal. Choir schedules are published in September and January. The Artistic Director may schedule extra rehearsals as they feel necessary. The Artistic Director, and at least one board member, should be notified immediately if there are any conflicts with other schedules. Any unexplained absence will be addressed in the following manner: a) First absence Chorister is spoken to by a member of the Board; b) Second absence Chorister and parent are spoken to; c) Third absence Letter is sent to parent saying that absences have been noted and the chorister and parent(s) should meet with the Board in regards to this. The chorister may be asked to leave the choir if unexplained absences continue. 2. CONSISTENT TARDINESS The Chorister will be reminded of rehearsal start time and asked to be on time next rehearsal. After three lates a phone call and/or letter will be sent to determine if there is a problem that the Board can help address.

LATE PICK UP If a Chorister is not picked up with 20 minutes of the end of rehearsal they will go home with the Board member on duty and it will be the parents responsibility to pick them up at that Board Members residence. 4. CHORISTER PICK UP Parents of Choristers who are in Grade 10 and under MUST come inside and pick up their chorister after rehearsal or provide a written note that permission is given to ride with someone else. Parents are encouraged to attend the last 10 minutes of Youth practice when a Board member will be speaking to the Choristers regarding upcoming events. 5. CONCERT ATTENDANCE All Choristers are expected at every performance. Choristers should notify the Artistic Director and a board member if they are unable to attend due to exceptional circumstances. An unexplained absence form a concert will be dealt with the same as a rehearsal absence under direction from the Artistic Director. Choristers who miss rehearsal prior to a concert may be withdrawn from the performance. Please remember that any extended absence from choir affects the operation of the whole choir. Choristers are part of a team and each voice is needed to make the team complete. 6. RESPECT Choristers are expected to be respectful of the Artistic Director, the Board, parents and other Choristers at all times. Choristers who are disruptive during rehearsal, will, at the discretion of the Artistic Director, be asked to leave rehearsal for as long as the Artistic Director deems necessary. Continued behavior problems may result in the chorister being asked to resign from the choir. In this case, any fees paid will be forfeit. Each chorister will receive a binder containing a rehearsal schedule and music for the current season. All music must be kept IN THE BINDER which is brought to every rehearsal. There will be a $25.00 fee for replacement of any lost binders/music and $10.00 for damaged binders.
