Rehearsal Schedule

Absences / Attendance

We expect each student to attend each scheduled rehearsal so that our programs are adequately prepared.  However, we will allow each student not more than two (2) absences each semester. Parents should e-mail the choir director if their child will be absent for any reason.  If a child is out due to extended illness or family circumstances, the parent should contact Mr. Lusk to discuss.

  • Each choir director will take attendance at each rehearsal.

Rehearsal Etiquette

Please be respectful of the other activities that may be in progress at the church during our rehearsal times. Remember that we are guests at the church.  The church, nor any of its ministries,  does not sponsor.  Please DO NOT contact the church office with questions. Instead, contact Mr. Lusk via phone or text at (309) 530-0114.

Remain quiet as you enter the building, as other activities may be in progress.

  • Arrive early enough to use the bathrooms, pick up your music folders and be ready to warm up.
  • Students should ONLY bring water bottles to the rehearsal rooms.
  • Choir members should help replace chairs after each rehearsal.
  • All students should return music folders to the folder crates or rehearsal assist for your assigned group.

E-mail Contact

The primary means of communication for BACHS is e-mail.  During the registration process, you will be asked to provide a valid e-mail address for use by the director(s).
