Choir Fees
The Choir Company is a full-year commitment. If you enroll your student(s) in choir, please understand that it is a year-long financial commitment. This means you are agreeing to pay supply fees and tuition for the entire school year (Fall and Spring semesters).
When we plan for choir, we buy music for the entire year based on the number of sign-ups in August. When students drop at the semester, we end up with music that we paid for but did not need, plus we typically have to reorganize parts to cover for those students who dropped out.
Please download, print, and sign the parent acknowledgement form to bring on the first day of choir class.
Tuition
The tuition fee for EACH semester (Fall 2022 and Spring 2023) is $100 per student per semester. The balance should be paid in full by the last day of class each semester.
Discount for families with more than one student enrolled:
1st student: $100.00 per semester
2nd student: $75.00 per semester (a 25% discount for the second student)
3rd+ students: $50.00 per semester (a 50% discount for the third student and beyond)
There is no family discount on supply fees.
Facilities Fee
There is a facilities usage/liability insurance fee per family (not per student) in addition to the costs described above. Each family is required to pay $60 for the entire 2022-2023 school year. This fee covers involvement at either or both locations.
Supply Fee
A $30 supply fee is due each semester, and covers choral print music and accompaniment tracks, music binder, rehearsal aides and CD’s, website upkeep, limited solo accompaniment tracks, and performance venue charges.
