FAQ's:
Are there any fees involved? No $$
Is this a class I have to sign up for? The Keystone Bands & The Chorale currently operate as an organized Student Activity. Everyone is eligible to perform with us. We will help you EVEN IF YOU HAVEN’T PRACTICED IN MONTHS OR YEARS. Important to remember, is that once you start, you will be expected improve your abilities... but your only competition is yourself! Do I need my own instrument? You can use your own instrument if you have one. We will even find a place for you to store it on campus if need be. However, if you DON’T have an instrument, don’t let that discourage you. Instruments can be provided. Do I have to participate in all ensembles? We would LOVE for you to be a part of all three ensembles, but if you can’t, you can pick and choose the right ensemble(s) for you. However, travel opportunities planned for the future may be reserved for only those students that participate in more than one of the ensembles. Is rehearsal mandatory? We need you regularly attend rehearsal in order to perform to the best of our abilities. How do you ensure the safety of minors on campus? Keystone College has an existing system in place for high school athletic camps, art festivals, etc. and we will as well. We will have parent / guardian consent form, background checks for volunteers, basic health forms, and campus security involved in keeping students safe!
