REHEARSAL SCHEDULE & EXPECTATIONS:
New Carolers will be accepted on either the PRO track or the APPRENTICE track.
PRO track singers will be paid for each rehearsal and will enter the pay rate as a first year caroler (or higher rate based on experience). You will be required to prepare the music on your own and come prepared to polish only during the rehearsals.
We sing in a capella quartet format and you will be alone on your part.

1st Year Caroler: $45/hour
2nd Year Caroler: $50/hour
3rd Year Caroler: $55/hour
Veteran (over 4 years): $60/hour

APPRENTICE track singers will not be paid for rehearsals. Once an apprentice has learned the material, they will shadow on performances at the apprentice pay rate until deemed ready to be on their own.
