Frequently Asked Questions Concerning Central Florida Chapter Children's Choir Festivals

Q1: What is the difference between a director and a chaperone?

A1: Normally there is only one director per choir. The director is the person who is in charge of the entire group and is required at the 10:10 am meeting. Chaperones are the extra people needed to supervise the children.

Q2: What are the duties of chaperones?

A2: Chaperones should be with the children all day. Even very small choirs should bring at least one chaperone to ensure safety (many of us are now required to have "two deep" adult leaders).

Q3: Why are there so many columns on the Registration Form?

A3: First and second choices are needed to equalize class sizes. Please be sure each singer is listed on only one row of the form.

Q4: Do the children wear choir robes during the festival performance?

A4: No, choir members do not wear choir robes during a Central Florida Chapter's Choir Festival. Many choirs prefer to create specialized tee-shirts which choir members wear for the festival. These tee-shirts serve also as a special recognition of the choir member's special efforts to prepare for the festival.
