Attendance Policies and Procedures

Master Chorale members are expected to attend all events and performances.

Attendance Policy:
Master Chorale members are expected to attend all events and performances.  The Music and Artistic Director retains final authority to determine concert rosters.  If a singer misses two rehearsals, they will be contacted by Brett Karlin and their  continued participation will be at the discretion of Dr. Bass.  If a singer misses three or more rehearsals, they must meet with Dr. Bass to discuss their situation and their continued participation will be at the discretion of Dr. Bass.

Excessive absences from rehearsals, as determined by Dr. Bass, will result in your being asked to take a leave of absence for the remainder of the season.

Orchestra Rehearsals are typically scheduled twice per concert series.  All performance week orchestra rehearsals are mandatory.  Bring only your black folder, a pencil, and the music being rehearsed on stage.  DO NOT bring cell phones, handbags, briefcases, magazines, books, etc. on stage.  Silence ALL electronic devices while on stage. 

Absence Procedure:
As a courtesy to the Chorale and its staff, please follow the directions below if you will not be attending a Master Chorale event of any kind.

1.  Notify the office by calling 813-974-7726 or by e-mailing the Assistant Conductor (Brett Karlin). 

2.  Check your e-mail for Noteworthy News and any other announcements that you may have missed. Extra handouts will always be available at the following rehearsal, but it is the singer's responsibility to make sure they pick them up.

3.  Retrieve score markings from your Section Leader.
