(5-24-20) COVID-19 UPDATE: Registration reminder and 20-21 Scholarship form

Hello RVCC!

Best wishes to everyone on this holiday weekend!  As the summer season is officially beginning, you’ll be hearing less from me but rest assured that I’ll be working and researching to find the best plan for our choir for the upcoming choir year.  It’s too early at this time, to say what that exact plan will be for our 20-21 season.  Safety will be the #1 priority and meaningful, musical growth will be a close 2nd!   Whether we rehearse in person as a whole group spread a part, in small groups that rotate weeks, live stream rehearsals, video rehearsals, Zoom rehearsals or a combination of all types, we’ll be doing our very best to help our choristers sing and shine! 

I’ll keep you updated as I know more.  I’m interested to see what the schools will be doing and can use that as a guide.  I’m also in contact with choir directors from around the country, listening to webinars specifically for choir planning, and have an engineer friend researching new online programs with low latency for musical groups to be able to rehearse online in real time.  There is a lot to consider in this historic time, and our choristers safety and quality of learning and experience are my top priorities. 

The RVCC Scholarship form for 20-21 is on the website at: childrenschoir.com/forms

The registration for RVCC for 20-21 is due by May 31 and is available on your Active Network account.  The best way to access your Active Network account is through the choir website (in the top menu, go to “Singers / Families”, then “Active Network”.  Even if you plan to apply for an RVCC Scholarship, registration is still due.  RVCC scholarships do not cover the registration fee. 

Sending warm and happy wishes to all of our RVCC Choir family.

With a smile and song,

Ms. Davidson
