For Information about joining the Langley Chorus - contact the Membership Secretary

Welcome to the Langley Community Chorus The following information outlines requirements for Chorus membership and defines a member-in-good-standing. Rehearsals begin at 7:30 p.m. sharp on Wednesday evenings at the Langley Community Music School, 4899 - 207th Street. Members are encouraged to be punctual as it is important to participate in the warm-up. Please care for your voice by bringing water to drink during rehearsals. On the first rehearsal of each month, refreshments are available at the break for a nominal charge. The membership fee for each season (Fall or Spring) is $65.00 for individuals and $100.00 per couple residing together, payable in full by the 2nd rehearsal Wednesday of each season (September or January). If paying by cash, please give exact change. Post-dated cheques will be accepted. Practice CD costs are included in this price and will be issued upon payment of the membership fee. Sheet music will be distributed only after the chorus receives membership fees as well as a $50.00 post-dated music deposit. If the music is returned by the due date, your deposit will NOT be cashed. All music is the property of the Chorus and is returned at the end of the season Please bring a pencil for marking music as the music deposit will be forfeited if ink or highlighters are used. A “Uniform Night” is scheduled for purchase and rental payments of concert dress. MEN are responsible for providing their own white pleated wing-collar shirt as well as black shoes and socks. Tuxes are purchased privately for approximately $125.00. Men’s accessories - vest, tie, pocket square - are borrowed with a one-time refundable deposit of $25.00. Chorus-owned tuxes rent for $25.00 per season (Fall & Spring) plus a one-time refundable deposit of $50.00. When borrowed clothing is returned freshly dry-cleaned/washed and in good repair, deposits will be returned. WOMEN wear their Chorus blouse ($25 purchase price, will be custom made for you) with long black skirts or black dress pants and black hose/socks and shoes. Minimal jewelry. Please avoid wearing fragrances when at rehearsals and performances. A member-in-good-standing participates in concerts and communicates, in advance, to their section helper for any rehearsals or to the Music Director for any concerts she/he is unable to attend. Having paid the membership fees and refundable music deposits when due and having no outstanding debt to the chorus, members-in-good standing must attend sufficient rehearsals to prepare for performances. A member loses good standing when, without prior communication to or authorization from a member of the executive or the Music Director, she/he fails to appear for a performance, dress rehearsal or three consecutive rehearsals. Unexpected conflicts will always arise. If you are unable to attend a Chorus performance, please inform the Music Director and your section helper(s). Please feel free to contact (email, phone, in person) any board member or the President, to pass along information, suggestions or concerns.
