 After registering, singers will be invited to the **weekend coaching sessions and rehearsals** for the contest season. These are each six hours long (with breaks) and happen in our usual venue with specialist coaches from outside the chorus; this year, all weekend sessions are on Saturdays.
-OutBAC singers should **learn the music before the second session (29th October)** so they can be working on the same skills as the weekly singers. Choreographed moves might be added or changed in the weekly rehearsals, and weekend singers should learn these outside the sessions as well to make sure they’ll be practised enough by the time of a contest.

-We check this in the latter half of the season by having section leaders listen to a singer while they are singing with the chorus, by doing rolling quartets on the contest songs, where only one person from each part is singing for a few bars before the next takes over, and observing the chorus performance in rehearsals. Each singer intending to sing at convention should be signed off by the music team by the start of April 2023.
