CONGRATULATIONS ON PASSING YOUR AUDITION TO BECOME A MEMBER OF
THE IDEALISTIC VALLEY CHORUS!
Your successful audition is the first – and most nerve-wracking – part of the process towards becoming
a member of the Idealistic Valley Chorus. Keep in mind; you will continue to
be introduced to the chorus as a “guest” until the process is complete!
There are just a few steps remaining before becoming a New Member of IVC:
- You will be asked to fill out a Membership Application
- The application and profile form you completed will go
to the Team Leader, who will recommend you for membership to the Management Team. A
Management Team vote will be taken.
- The Management Team’s recommendation is taken to
the chorus body the following week for chorus vote. The chorus membership vote
is not vocally-based (that is, you do not have to vocally audition in front of the chorus!), but a motion to accept
you into the chorus can not be made until you have passed your vocal audition for the Music Committee.
- You will receive a letter with the results of the chorus
vote for your membership acceptance.
- After the Management Team and the chorus body has
voted to accept your membership into IVC, the Membership
Chair ask you to submit a check made payable to “The Idealistic Valley Chorus” for your start-up costs. The start-up costs are as follows:
For Members 26 years and older:
$000 = $000
This includes: International
dues:
$80
First month chapter dues: $00?
Other items?
$00?
For Members 25 years and under:
$00 = $00
This includes: International dues:
$40
First month chapter dues:
$00?
Other items? $00?

- The week following an affirmative vote from the chorus
body, you will be introduced to the chorus as a NEW member. You will receive
your NEW MEMBER GUIDE, your own spot on the risers, music and learning CDs for the current IVC repertoire, and a mentor who will work closely with you for the remainder of your Rookie
Year.
- When your membership card and name tag arrive from Sweet
Adelines International, you will be presented with them during a rehearsal.
