The mission of Nashville Singers is to enrich lives through singing and the support of music education. Achieving this mission and vision will require above average dedication from each member.

This Is What We Expect of Our Members:

1. Dedication to excellence: Nashville Singers is dedicated to achieving the highest level of singing and performance quality. Achieving our collective goal starts with our members; therefore, each member must be dedicated to achieving the excellence we seek.

2. Administration of the chorus: Nashville Singers has an "active member only policy." This means that each member is expected to perform one of the following: chair or serve on at least one committee, accept a position as an appointed official, serve in a chorus elective office, or be accountable for a position of responsibility within the chorus.

3. Participation at rehearsals: Nashville Singers expects each member to attend all rehearsals on time and to participate attentively in the entire rehearsal schedule.

4. Memorization of music and performance plans: Nashville Singers requires each member to be able to follow the Director of Music or his assistants and/or coaches. Members are required to memorize the chorus music and visual plan within four weeks of introduction. Nashville Singers does not expect this to be accomplished at chorus rehearsals; therefore, it is expected that a member will spend time away from the rehearsal to accomplish these requirements.

5. Certification for performances: Prior to a performance, or as new music is added to the chorus repertoire, and at the discretion of the directors or section leaders, a demonstration of proficiency in notes and lyrics may be required through the use of a tape or MP3 recorder or other methods as may be designated. In addition, special demonstrations of the visual plan may be required. Inability of a member to perform any music to an established standard may disqualify him from participating in public appearances.

6. Participation at performances: Members are expected to participate in all Nashville Singers public performances. However, representing Nashville Singers by singing in public appearances is a privilege which can be jeopardized by poor attendance at rehearsals. Exceptions can be made, on an individual basis.

7. Positive attitude: Nashville Singers expects each member to maintain a positive attitude at all chorus functions. This is not to say you cannot have an opinion or make a suggestion. However, problems or complaints should be brought to the attention of a member of the Nashville Singers Board of Directors, in private, and preferably in writing.

8. Participation in ticket sales: Nashville Singers will produce one or more concerts each year which depend on public ticket sales to achieve financial success. Each member is required to sell tickets to these events.

9. Payment of dues: Membership in Nashville Singers requires payment of dues. The chorus

Secretary or Treasurer can assist you with information regarding membership options available and the cost for each.

10. Agreement to abide by Nashville Singers expectations of membership, standards and policies: Each member of Nashville Singers is expected to read and abide by the expectations of membership, standards, "Code of Ethics" and policies that may be enacted from time to time by the Board of Directors.
