The Hudson Community Chorus

HCC Frequently Asked Questions

When are rehearsals?
Rehearsals for the Adult Chorus are held every TUESDAY evening at

Hudson Presbyterian Church, 201 W. Streetsboro St,  Hudson, Ohio.

Rehearsals begin promptly at 7 p.m. and end at 9 p.m.  Since we rehearse only once a week,

an efficient use of time is important.  Please be seated and ready to warm up at 7 p.m.

How will I know if rehearsal is cancelled?
You will be notified by email or you can check this web site.   Make sure we have your current email address, or if you don't use email, please provide your current phone number.

What if I must miss a rehearsal?
Absences affect your ability to learn the music and make it difficult to achieve a balance in parts and sound.  Please make every effort to attend if you are well, but if you can't be there, please send an email to absences@hudsonsings.org and let us know. Choral singing creates an environment that can spread germs easily, so please stay home if you are not feeling well. If you will miss several rehearsals, please speak to Nathan prior to the anticipated absences.  Whenever you miss a rehearsal, check with a member of your section regarding notes or practice info you might have missed. All rehearsals are recorded and can be accessed through the Chorus Member login link in the upper-right.

What does it cost to join HCC?
Our year is divided into two seasons -- Holiday and Spring .  If you pay for each season separately, the fee is $60 payable at the beginning of each season, or you can pay for both the holiday and spring season in September at a cost of $100. Members are asked to support the chorus by supporting the annual fall campaign,  selling concert tickets, and assisting on the board or its committees.  


How does the chorus dress for concerts?

Interim Concert Attire- Fall 2024

For the Fall 2024 performances of the adult chorus that require formal concert attire, each member, regardless of gender identity, may opt for one of the following two guidelines for attire:

OPTION A

  • Black dress shirt or blouse, button-down or with a dress neckline. Sleeves should be full-length (i.e. to the wrist) or 3⁄4-length, but no shorter than the elbow.

  • Black pants or skirt, to the ankle or full-length. Please no capris, cropped pants or calf-length skirts.

  • Black jackets (tuxedo, suit, or blazer) are optional and should be buttoned during performance.

  • Dresses that meet the specifications above, simple in style.

  • No white (or any other color) undershirt should be visible.

    OPTION B

  • Black tuxedos (“short-coat” jacket and pants). Jackets must be buttoned during performance.

  • White dress shirt or tuxedo shirt.

  • A red bow tie will be provided by the Chorus. (There is no need to buy a tie at this point.)

    REQUIRED FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS

  • All fabrics (with the exception of tuxedo shirts) should be solid, deep black with a dressy, smooth drape. Please no holes, cutouts, logoed or sheer fabrics.

  • No denim, sweaters, sparkles, adornments, leather, laces, visible zippers, shiny fabrics, athletic wear, or leggings.

  • Black dress shoes of any type, without adornment. If worn, belts and/or suspenders should be black.

  • Black socks, hosiery, or stockings. Hosiery is recommended with ankle-length dresses or skirts.

  • Jewelry should be kept to a minimum. Small, solid, neutral-colored or neutral metal studs are

    preferred for earrings and other visible piercings.

  • While deodorant is encouraged, please do not wear any additional scents – some in our chorus have allergies, asthma or other sensitivities.

  • ​RETURNING CHORUS MEMBERS: Please note that what you already own and have worn in previous seasons fits within this interim policy.

All music for the concert must be in a black music folder.  Folders are available for purchase online from mymusicfolders.com or at area music stores.

Who owns the music we perform?
The music in your concert packet is owned by HCC or borrowed from other music programs.  It is for your use until the concert.  You should take care of the music and make all notations in your music in pencil only.   All music will be returned to Maria Tazzi, our music librarian, at the end of each concert season.
