Rehearsals

We rehearse on Tuesday evenings from 7.45 to 9.30 in the Longford Park Community Centre in Bodicote. Click here for a map.

There are no auditions, and prospective members are invited to attend 2 or 3 rehearsals before paying Subs to see how they get on.

We perform 3 or 4 concerts a year in either Bloxham or Deddington and there are occasional workshops or 'come and sing' events.

We ask that all those intending to sing in a concert meet a minimum level of attendance. As a general rule this is 75%. The rehearsal on the day of the concert, along with the one immediately preceding it, are mandatory.

Subscriptions

Subs are payable each term, and vary depending on the length of the rehearsal period. The subs are set at a level to cover the society's fixed costs i.e. all the non-concert costs. These are not insignificant, and include rehearsal venue hire, Music Director's fee, Repetiteur's fee, annual insurance, website, library membership and music hire fees.

Subs for the Spring Term 2022 (13 weeks) are £65.

Members are encouraged to pay their subs online but can also pay by cheque/cash at a rehearsal.

Please contact the Treasurer for the Society's banking details.

Music Hire

The cost of music hire is included in the termly subscription. Members are responsible for returning their copies after the concert, with all markings erased.

Those who wish to use their own copies must have the appropriate edition.

Music for the Spring Term 2022:

Vaughan Williams 'Five Mystical Songs'.

Library copies will be available; those who wish to buy their own should order the Stainer and Bell edition.

All other music (Lotti and Franck) will be provided.
