Dues are $24 per year for regular members and $12 for full-time students. Dues are payable each January for the calendar year; new members may prorate their first year's dues, depending on the number of months remaining in the calendar year. Paying dues, combined with regular attendance (attendance at a minimum of 3/4 of the rehearsals during the past three months), qualifies you as a member in good standing, and entitles you to all rights and privileges thereof (which include, for example, voting, holding office, etc.). Dues provide the primary source of funds for meeting normal ACWE operating expenses.

Members are encouraged to take home their music folder for rehearsal purposes. However, if you have taken your folder, and are unable to attend a rehearsal (or concert), it is essential that your folder be returned, so that your part can be covered. You may return a folder by leaving it with the receptionist at TSBVI. Please remember: whenever you take your folder, you are committing yourself to returning the folder for the next rehearsal or concert.

Planning for rehearsals and scheduling for concerts is much more effective when the level of participation and instrumentation can be projected. Because of this, regular participation in weekly rehearsals is zealously encouraged. The courtesy of advanced notification (to your section leader and/or to the Conductor) is greatly appreciated when circumstances prevent your participation in a rehearsal or concert.

Normal concert dress is: black shoes, black socks, black pants and white shirt for men; black shoes, black skirt or pants, and white blouse for women. Polo-style white shirts with the ACWE logo are available to purchase.
