Our SongBirds Chorister Training Program begins next Tuesday!
Getting There from the Parish School
Singers from the Parish School will be dismissed from class in time to meet Dr. Vogt on the front steps of the church at 3:30 p.m. Dr. Vogt will show them how to get to Fr. Porter Hall so that they can find their way there on subsequent days, check-in with a parent volunteer, find their rehearsal room and have a simple snack.
Children in SongBirds 1-A will rehearse from 3:30-3:50 p.m. They will be dismissed at the East door and may take a simple snack with them, or if they are waiting for a sibling in SongBirds 2 may remain in Fr. Porter Hall until 4:10 p.m.
Children in SongBirds 2 will rehearse from 3:50-4:10 p.m. Unless notified in writing by parent/guardian, these children are expected to report to Fr. Porter Hall immediately after school for a snack and supervised study time until their rehearsal begins at 3:50 p.m. They will be dismissed at the East door.
Getting There from other Schools
Singers from other schools in the parish may enter through the East door to Fr. Porter Hall anytime on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 3:30 p.m. and the beginning of the SongBirds 1-B rehearsal at 4:10 p.m. Students will be dismissed on these days at the East doors at 4:30 p.m.
On Wednesdays, children in SongBirds 1-B rehearse from 5:40-6:00 p.m. Entrance and dismissal at the East door.
Attendance
Conflicts are bound to arise from time to time, however, and the only requirement in this regard is accountability in order to keep your child and all of the other children safe. If and whenever a conflict arises, please communicate this via the online Anticipated Absence form.
Three voice/choir sessions a week is a rare opportunity from which your child will greatly benefit. The parish is making an extraordinary investment in your child's formation to match your investment of time and commitment. In order to help you to plan, we have published the SongBirds Calendar for the entire year.
