What will the weekly time commitment be for SYC?
The time commitment will be one rehearsal per week. There will also be at least 1 concert per year, which is mandatory to attend. For said concert(s), we will have 1-2 dress rehearsal(s), depending on the scope of the concert/who we are collaborating with.
What are the outside requirements to be in the choir?
1. SYC members must participate, and be in good standing, in their school’s choral program. We expect and encourage our singers be the leaders of their school’s choirs.

If your child's school does not have a choir, or your child is homeschooled, we will of course make exceptions. This is partly why we inquire about your child's school district/teachers.
2. All weekly rehearsals are mandatory, unless extenuating circumstances arise. We only meet once a week, and missing rehearsals greatly sets back the learning process.
Can parents volunteer?
Yes of course! The organization is volunteer run, so the more help we get the better. We always need help with logistics, especially making sure singers get safely to their parents/guardians every week, dress rehearsal/concert chaperones, concert ushers etc.
What is the cost to enroll in SYC?
We are working to bring this opportunity to as many students as possible, and will be assessing our costs to provide an amazing experience as affordable as possible. We are also working to find grants to offset the cost of running the choir, so that we can have more low-to-no cost scholarships available.
