Choir Details & Policies 2024-25
It is expected that all members are familiar with our policies that are updated & posted here each Term.
Schedule
When students join Wolfgang Children's Choir (WCC), we encourage them to participate long term. Since WCC is an ensemble that continues to grow and develop overtime, it’s ideal to have long term members to maintain a constant standard of excellence and musicality. Your child will grow and improve over time, showing an improvement in confidence, self-esteem and interest in music!

TERMS
There are two terms per year. All are open to returning and new members.
For everyone's best interest, after the third week of the term, new students will no longer be accepted and must wait until the following term to enroll. |
HOLIDAYS
There are no classes held on school or national holidays, such as Thanksgiving week, Christmas break, Spring Break, etc. There may be special events planned during that time for those that can attend. For example, the past two years we performed at the "Clayton Christmas Tree Lighting" Ceremony. A detailed calendar will be provides at the beginning of term. |
