The STMC Elementary Choir

St. Thomas More Collegiate is proud to offer Elementary Choir for the 2025-2026 school year!

STMC Elementary Choir

Welcome to the STMC Elementary Choir! We are going to share an exciting year of music and learning. Here, you will find all the information you need to get started.

Schedule

Our rehearsals will be held weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30-4:30pm in the STMC Choir Room. Our first rehearsal will be Wednesday September 10. Please arrive at 3:15pm each week so we can promptly begin rehearsals at 3:30pm. Please do not arrive earlier than 3:15.

Payment Information

The cost for the STMC Elementary Choir is $350 for the year. Fees are non-refundable. 

§  $100 non-refundable deposit due by June 23 to hold your spot

§  $250 due September 9.

Fees must be paid on Karelo using this link  https://www.karelo.com/register.php?BID=485&BT=10&PrivEv=22139

Sign up for a Karelo account (or log into your account), then under "Events," select "Elementary Choir Balance."  If you were not able to pay the deposit yet, please pay the full amount and select "Elementary Choir Full Amount".

*If multiple students from one family are involved in the group, we can offer a discount. The fee for the first student is $350 with each subsequent student fee being $275. These families should send a CHEQUE payable to STMC rather than paying on Karelo.

Policies & Procedures

Students are expected to be on-time and to stay for the full duration of all rehearsals. Please schedule other activities around our weekly rehearsal time. If you need to miss a rehearsal, you must email Mr. Lui with as much advance notice as possible.

Students are expected to contribute as positive citizens of the ensemble. All ensemble members will:

·      treat one another with kindness and respect

·      be attentive and fully present in rehearsals (devices must be put away)

·      maintain a quiet, focused atmosphere conducive to productive rehearsals

·      Help maintain a clean, comfortable space in the choir room by taking responsibility 

       for their own belongings and any items used during class

·      Act with maturity while visiting STMC: walk quietly in the halls, treat school property  

       carefully

All choir members are expected to attend our performances at STMC on November 29 and April 20.
