ATTENDANCE

Regular attendance is essential to maintain the quality of our music!

Rehearsals are held Tuesday evenings, 7:30-9:20 pm, in the Fellowship Hall (underneath the Sanctuary) of Manassas Baptist Church (8800 Sudley Rd).

The first rehearsal of the season is Tue Aug 27, 2024.
The first rehearsal after the winter break is Tue Jan 7, 2025.

Members must meet attendance requirements for each concert segment, and are responsible for registering their own attendance at each rehearsal. Members may not miss more than half an hour in order to be counted present.

If a member exceeds the maximum allowable absences (available in the Handbook for each segment of the season)(and has also attended at least half of the segment’s rehearsals), they will need to sing for the Artistic Director to determine their concert preparedness. The Artistic Director has the discretion to deny participation in the concert. If you have any questions about your attendance, please see the Secretary or the Executive Director who maintain the attendance records.

Dress rehearsals are MANDATORY unless otherwise arranged with the Artistic Director. Only circumstances such as family emergencies, illness, or other unavoidable circumstances will be considered as excusable absences.  Failure to attend the dress rehearsal may result in denial of participation in the concert. Dress rehearsals are held at the Hylton Performing Arts Center. Concert attire is NOT required. Comfortable clothes and shoes are encouraged. 

COSTS

  • Dues. The Manassas Chorale is considered an annual membership organization. Singers join for one year (four consecutive concert segments). Renewal reminders are sent to members each segment. The annual membership dues for the 2024-2025 season are $136 for adult singers and $100 for high school singers. Dues may be paid in their entirety or in installments of at least $34 each. Members must be paid in full or have a signed payment agreement in place with the Treasurer by the fourth rehearsal of the segment in which they join, to be in good financial standing.

  • Attire. Chorale members must purchase formal and informal concert attire (see Handbook for more details; pricing subject to change).
    • Formal men’s and women’s attire = about $110
    • Informal men’s and women’s attire (blue polo shirt) = $25
  • Performance folder. Chorale members must have a matte black folder to hold their music for all performances. Folders may be purchased from the Chorale for $12, or singers may supply their own.
