When are rehearsals?
Rehearsals are held every Tuesday at First Congregational Church, 47 Aurora St. , Hudson.  

How will I know if rehearsal is cancelled?
You will be notified by email. Please make sure we have 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, but if you can't be there, please send an email to absences@hudsonsings.org and let us know.

 
What does it cost to join Hudson Community Youth/Children's Choruses?
Our year is divided into two seasons -- Fall and Spring .  If you pay for each season separately, the fee is $80 payable at the beginning of each season, or you can pay for both the holiday and spring season in September at a cost of $150. Beyond fees, we ask for your support through our annual fall campaign, selling concert tickets, and assisting on the board or its committees.  

​

Is financial assistance available?

We offer confidential financial assistance to any member who may be experiencing hardship – no income documentation required.  Support may cover full or partial dues, depending on available funds.  To apply, request the short online form by emailing assistance@hudsonsings.org.  Applications are reviewed confidentially by two board members, and decisions are shared promptly via email.  All information remains private and will not be shared without consent.

​

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 Lisa Quartermaine, our music librarian, at the end of each concert season.
