3. Regional Choir Retreat– Usually  held in November – Butler University – all Regional singers are expected to attend this very important and fun filled event.  What is a choir retreat? Choir retreat is an educational day of rehearsal,  social activities, music education and movement classes.  Retreat rehearsals and activities are designed to prepare the singer for up coming performances, further develop their music reading skills and help them to get to  know one another and the many conductors they will be working with as a member of a professional children’s choir.
4. Performances:  Performances are considered “mandatory” unless specifically marked “select” or “voluntary”  However, if you  have a school music performance conflict, you are expected to go to your school performance.  If you already know of a conflict, fill out a pre-arranged absence form and present it to your ICC choir director at the first rehearsal - see dates above.
