Membership Details

We are constantly recruiting new members for all our Training Choirs 1st training choir ages 3 - 5; 2nd training choir ages 6 - 9 years and our Main Choir 10+.

For anyone is interested in joining the Choir, rehearsals take place at Henderson Avenue Primary School, Henderson Avenue, Scunthorpe on Friday evenings during school term. The Main Choir meet between 6.30 to 8.00 pm, Training Choir between 5.30 to 6.30 pm and the Beginners (from age 3) meet from 6.00 to 6.30 pm.  If bringing a child to the Beginners rehearsal we ask that, because of the age, an adult stays with the child during the session.  Please call Sue Hollingworth (01724 852077) or Maggie Doherty (01724 761998) (e-mail ndoherty@btinternet.com) if you're thinking of coming along to the main choir.

Subscriptions

Members of the choir pay:

£1.10 for the beginners choir and rehearse for half an hour;
£1.70 for the training choir and rehearse for one hour;
£2.30 for the main choir and rehearsals are for one and a half hours per week.

Parents are only asked to ensure choristers attend regular rehearsals and make themselves available, wherever possible, for concerts.  They are also asked to ensure choristers have the correct uniform which is simple and inexpensive.  Subscriptions are used to pay for sets of music for the choir, hire of the rehearsal rooms and administrative costs in order to continue to provide for the Choirs. Subscriptions may be paid weekly or termly in advance.

Music

All music and a folder are provided free of charge.  We ask that choristers no longer wishing to be a member of the choir return their folder and music so this may be used by someone else.

Uniform

The choir is proud of all its choristers and wishes for them to be both comfortable and smart when performing.  The uniform is both simple and also smart.  All three choirs wear distinctive waistcoats for performances (these are provided free).  We ask choristers to wear the following simple accessories so that they may achieve the desired look:-

All choristers

Smart Black Trousers (school type only, no joggers, leggings or jeans)
White school type blouse or shirt (full length sleeves)
Black Socks
Plain black shoes (NO boots or trainers)

We ask that long hair is tied back.  All hair accessories should be simple and must be only plain black.  Whilst we appreciate that they may wish to keep up with fashionable hairstyles, we ask that, during performances, their hair is pinned back so as not to fall over their face.
