Expectations

  • The GME rehearses weekly on Thursday evenings; L'EMG répète hebdomadaire jeudi soir; instrumentalists from 6-8pm and the choir from 8-10pm.
  • Rehearsals are generally held in Glendon Hall. Les repetitions ont lieu en Glendon Hall. Occasionally and increasingly so towards concert dates, additional sessions are organized during the week and on weekends.
  • Members are expected to attend rehearsals regularly and punctually. Les membres sont censés assister les repetitions regulierement et ponctuellement. Missing rehearsals hinders not only the learning of the music but the feeling of group cohesion and is unacceptable. If attendance becomes a problem with any given member, the directors will ask him or her not to participate in the performance.
  • Members are expected to review what was practised at rehearsals, Les membres sont censés de réviser ce que sont practiquer aux repetitions,  listen to relevant audio files and study scores. In addition, some members might have to meet at a separate time to rehearse duets and trios. We ask members to be willing to do so.
  • Members are responsible for the print and audio material handed out as these cannot be replaced. Les membres sont responsable pour le matériel imprimé et matériel audio.
  • Whenever possible, GME executives are looking for section heads – people who will guide and help others with their music. Should you have the will, the experience and or the capability, you might be asked to assume the leadership of a section. Quand c'est possible, les executives du EMG sont chercher pour des chefs de sections.
  • Members should advise the executives well ahead of time should they exceptionally be unable to attend a scheduled meeting or a rehearsal.
