Choristor's Creed

from Dr. Carroll Lehman

I WILL make it a priority to come to all rehearsals, and plan my schedule around them.

I WILL be here and in my seat ready to sing by 7:30 p.m.

I WILL have warmed up my voice and be ready to vocalize.

I WILL sit on the front of my chair and hold my music high.

I WILL look at the conductor frequently.

I WILL always have a pencil in hand and mark my score whenever and wherever the conductor indicates I should do so.

I WILL keep talking to an absolute minimum during rehearsals, particularly when another voice part is working.

I WILL make every effort to attend rehearsals when sectionals are being conducted.

I WILL concentrate, be alert, and refrain from talking.

I WILL never, never have to say "Where are we starting?"

I WILL faithfully study my music at home, studying more if I have minimal ability

I WILL purchase a rehearsal tape if I have difficulty learning music and USE IT.

I WILL know the music well three weeks before the concert.
