Welcome
Becoming a member of Guildford Vox
Joining our choir is very easy. All you need to do is attend the session of your choice from the list of rehearsal dates on our website and complete a membership form, which will be available at the signing-in table. The choir secretary will add your details to the choir email system (Muzodo) and all future information will come to you from that. It will only include information that is relevant to our choir or to events that involve Anna (our choir leader). Please register your acceptance of membership when you receive a welcome email from Muzodo. From time to time, Muzodo will contact you to ask if you can attend certain choir events and performances. Replying is very easy as you simply need to click on one of the options of ‘Yes’; ‘No’; or ‘Maybe’, which will appear in the body of the email. Your name will then be added automatically to the list of responses. If at any time you wish to change your response (for example from ‘No’ or ‘Maybe’ to ‘Yes’) you will need to access Muzodo to do so.
Subscriptions -At the start of each term, you will be notified of the cost for the whole term, which will equate to £5.00 per session. You may also pay half termly at the same sessional rate. Those costs apply both for live rehearsals and attendance via Zoom. You may also pay session by session at a cost of £7.00 per evening.
Choir Performances – Whilst we do not have a choir uniform as such, we ask that choir members dress smartly for performances, wearing black with a touch of bright emerald-green. The latter could be a tie, waistcoat, scarf, top, shirt, badge, or jewellery.
Non-attendance at choir – In accordance with GDPR regulations and our own Privacy Notice, if you do not attend choir for a full term and do not let us know that you wish to return, your name will be removed from Muzodo and the choir database.
Covid Mitigations – We ask that members do not attend choir if they have any flu-like symptoms or feel ill in any way, as that could mean they have contracted Covid. Choir is available via Zoom as an alternative. The link is provided to all choir members.
