 Rehearsals
are held on Wednesday
evenings from 8:00pm. until about
9:45pm., starting on September 3rd and continuing into June. We
rehearse in
the Hoylake Chapel
Hall which is behind the Chapel proper on the corner of Station Road
and Meols Drive, Hoylake.
Music is
provided or
members may purchase their own copies, which the society can often
obtain at discounted rates. Members are asked to
bring a pencil to rehearsals.
There is a subscription for members
of £60,
(concession rate of £55 for pensioners, etc., students free).
The subscription covers the cost of running the society, which includes
the hire of the rehearsal hall and music. It is payable by October each
season.
We normally
perform two main concerts each year, one
in November and the
second towards the end of April. We also stage a Family Carol Concert
in December; this is usually with the help of a choir
from a local school.
Details of our concert programme can be
found on the Concerts page.
Concert dress is long-sleeved white (not cream) blouse without glitter, long black
skirt or black trousers and black shoes for the ladies,
and
dinner jacket or dark suit, white shirt, black shoes and black bow tie for the
gentlemen.
In order to plan the stage
layout effectively, the stage manager needs to know well in advance who
intends to sing in the concert. Members will be asked to inform their
respective part registrar during rehearsals of their intention. Only
those members committed to sing in the concert should attend the final
two rehearsals that are held in the concert staging location.
These last two rehearsals are critical both musically and to enable the
stage seating to be finalised before the concert.
All members, whether intending to sing in the concert or not, are
welcome to join in the fun of the rehearsals except for the final
"dress rehearsals".
If you think you might like to join us just come
along to one of our
rehearsals and introduce yourself to the membership secretary or one of the people wandering about
(probably arranging chairs or handing out books, etc.). However, if you
would like some more information first, contact the
