THE BIG CHOIR TERMS & CONDITIONS
It is extremely important to The Big Choir that we provide our members with a positive and comfortable space in which to rehearse. The Big Choir reserves the right to deny admission to any person, or to cancel membership if a member’s behavior is seen as unsuitable or disruptive to the choir.
Accepting our Terms & Conditions when you become a member of The Big Choir, gives us your permission to use any photographs or video footage from rehearsals and performances. These may be used on our social media sites, our website and for promotional material and any other medium. If you have any objections, please make them known at commencement of your membership.
By accepting our terms and conditions, you agree to be courteous and considerate to other members at all times. You agree to respect your surroundings, including all property relating to the venue that you are occupying and you agree to keep noise to an acceptable level when arriving and leaving rehearsals as our venues are located within residential areas.
You agree to respect the rules and guidelines concerning safety within each venue.
You agree that if there is a problem with another member that you are unable to resolve with that member directly, you will report the issue to Sharon or Andy for them to deal with as they see fit.
The Big Choir reserves the right to alter the schedule of rehearsals to fit in with performances and other events, but will give members as much notice as possible. This can also apply to songs that have been released. Changes will be kept to a minimum, but occasionally it may be necessary to make certain changes to our repertoire.
The Big Choir is proud to welcome members from all backgrounds, cultures, faiths and ethinicities. We celebrate our diversity and believe that music brings people together in unity.
To maintain this spirit of inclusivity, we ask all members to refrain from wearing or displaying items that express political or religious positions, ie. badges, flags or slogans when rehearsing or performing with the choir. We reserve the right to ask any member not complying with this request to remove such items. If a member refuses, we may withdraw their participation in the performance in order to protect the neutral and inclusive environment that defines our choir.
Members of The Big Choir agree to pay their subscriptions on time and in advance of rehearsals. Any refunds are given at the sole discretion of The Big Choir and will depend on the circumstances. Subs are due on or before 1st of each month. If this is a problem you will need to let our Treasurer know by emailing treasurer@thebigchoir.org. If you don't let us know, and your payment is more than 2 days late, your membership will be frozen until payment is made.
Our dress code for performances is The Big Choir branded t-shirt with full-length blue jeans. We wear white t-shirts in the summer, with the odd exception, and navy in the winter. This may change for future performances, but will always be communicated to the choir in advance and with as much notice as possible. We also ask that members wear white footwear, mainly during the summer.
The Big Choir will not be held financially responsible for any damage caused by a choir member’s misconduct.
The Big Choir members are responsible for their own property and belongings at rehearsals and performances.
In accordance with the Data Protection Act, The Big Choir will hold personal and private member information, but will not pass this on to any external bodies or organisations.
