Rochester Rainbow Choir

1. Please try to arrive on time and be prepared for warm-ups at the start.  We know life happens, so if you are late, please be courteous and wait for a break in a song to find a seat quietly.  

2. Come prepared – we should be completely off-book 2 weeks prior to the concert, when we rehearse with the band.

3. Please silence devices to avoid distraction.  Listen to your section members to ensure you are all on the same page.  Also, listen to the choir as a whole to ensure a good blend and to understand the overall sound of the group.

4. Focus on Dylon and pay attention while he is working with your part and the choir as a whole.  When you are not working/singing, please also limit side conversations as they can be very distracting to those who are working at that time.  We appreciate funny stories and jokes in the right setting, but when we are near concert time, we will try to keep rehearsals “mostly business”.  

5. Respect is HUGE!  Please respect the director, Dylon, and all the time he’s put into making this performance amazing!  Respect the other singers by being attentive, avoiding disruptions, and continuing to put in the hard work to memorize and solidify the songs for our concert.  Also, positivity and encouragement are always welcome.  Please continue to respect one another personally and professionally at every rehearsal and concert.   

6. In the spirit of respect, we ask that there are no strong scents presented.  We function in a tight space and a neutral scent is appreciated for rehearsals and concerts.  

7. HAVE FUN!  We are really putting a lot of work into this music and it is a happy and encouraging set!  If we are having fun, the energy is contagious and everyone, including our audience, will feel that.
