Parent Meetings
It is expected that one parent/representative will
attend parent meetings. These meetings are essential
to provide communication and information regarding
planning, events, scheduling, fundraiser's, etc.
They are scheduled as needed. Check calendar and
newsletters for date and time.
Parent Involvement
As is true with all volunteer organizations, the
success of DGC depends on parent involvement. Parents
must sign up for one job assignment during the season.

responsibilities are listed here.
Newsletter / Calendar
Newsletters and announcements are sent to
our membership via e-mail. We ask that
you add our e-mail address to your address book
and check your spam folders routinely since most
of our e-mails are sent to 60 addresses at a time
and are sometimes flagged as junk mail. Adding our
e-mail address will help address this problem but
does not guarantee that an e-mail will not be misdirected.
If you do not receive an e-mail by September 1st,
PLEASE call the choir line so we can make sure you
get all communications!
Please notify us if your e-mail address changes
during the season. We earnestly request that you
read and print out this information. It is meant
to keep you up to date with the latest calendar
changes and upcoming events.

Phone Tree
Situations may arise in which we need to make changes
after the regular correspondence has been sent to
the parents. In such events, the phone tree becomes
a necessary form of communication. Your cooperation
is greatly appreciated in making this a viable line
of communication for our organization.
Roster
The roster is revised at the beginning of each season.
In includes each singer's name, her parents' names,
address, phone number, which choir she is in and
which school she attends (for the purpose of transportation/carpooling).
If there are any errors on the roster, please call
the choir line so that they can be corrected. The
membership roster is for official Danville Girls
Chorus use. Please do not use this roster to solicit
business of our members. To do so constitutes misappropriation
of corporate property.
Transportation
Getting singers to and from rehearsals, performances
and other events is the sole responsibility of parents/guardians.
Carpools may be arranged by checking the chorus
roster and calling parents who live in a nearby
area.
Summer
Music Camp -- August 3rd - 7th, 2009
 Summer
Music Camp is required of all singers in the Concert
Choir. Music Camp gives the music
staff an opportunity to build musical and vocal
skills, to teach new music, and to provide the individual
and small group attention that girls may need for
performing. If your daughter is in the INTERMEDIATE
or the APPRENTICE CHOIR, there is a possibility
that she may be promoted in June to the Concert
Choir. For this reason, we ask that you please make
your summer vacation plans carefully. All
Concert Choir singers MUST attend Summer Music Camp
or the promotion will not take place.
DVDs and Photography
DGC is pleased to offer each family one complimentary
DVD of each concert performance (additional DVDs
will be available for purchase). DVDs will be distributed
to the singers at rehearsal approximately 4-6 weeks
after each concert. June DVDs are handed out on
the last day of music camp. You will receive an
e-mail, notifying you in advance of each distribution
date. We have found that using a professional videographer
allows our families to sit back and enjoy the performances.
We have also discovered that safety hazards, such
as those created by the use of tripods, have greatly
improved. PLEASE DO NOT VIDEOTAPE OR USE FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
DURING THE PERFORMANCES! The directors find this
to be distracting to the singers, and we want them
to sound their best. A short photo opportunity will
be arranged following each choir’s performance at
the December and June Concerts.
Fundraising
The 2008 See’s Candy Fundraiser begins in October.
Orders will be collected and distributed in November.
Parents are encouraged to participate in this fundraiser
by promoting the sale to family and friends. This
is our only fundraiser. For safety reasons, please
do not allow your daughter to sell door-to-door.
Monies earned from candy sales by the Concert Choir
singers are credited toward the cost of their Spring
Tour.
