Frequently Asked Questions
What does the choir sing?We have an extensive repertoire of songs, including operatic choruses, stage show favourites, choral works by the great composers, modern light music, traditional songs, sacred music and just about every other kind. The music is chosen by the musical director. Each concert will include a mixture of songs to give something for everyone to enjoy. How do I book the choir?Contact the secretary by email secretary@kpmvc.org.uk. The choir is booked well in advance, so usually at least a year's notice will be needed. The choir normally performs three Christmas concerts during the month of December. How much does it cost to book?There is a charge to cover our transport costs and other expenses, which will be agreed when you book. Most concerts produce a healthy benefit to the organisers' chosen charity or good cause. The choir is self-financing by means of CD sales, members' contributions and sale of momentos at concerts. No cost falls to the public. How do I join?Contact the secretary by email via the 'contact us' button on this page. Alternatively, talk to any member of the choir at any of our concerts. You will be made very welcome. What would my commitment as a member be?The choir practices every Thursday evening, from 7.15 until 9.30, at Kent Police HQ, Sutton Road, Maidstone ME15 9BZ. There are around twelve concerts each year, mainly on Saturday evenings. There is no strict rule about attending all practices or concerts, merely the pressure of enjoyment! All music and uniforms are provided by the choir. Can I become a non-singing 'Friend' of the choir?Yes, we'd be delighted to have you as a friend. Take a look at our 'Friends of the Choir' page which you can find in the menu above, or just contact our 'Friends' representative Stewart Biggs by email. friends@kpmvc.org.uk.. Stewart will then send you full details. |
