From the lens Should choir members who missed rehearsal be allowed to sing anyway?.

    I agree that rules shouldn't be too rigid. I treat each individual case differently, but make it clear that if anyone intends to miss the important final rehearsal, then they need to have a chat with me. I also make it clear that you don't have to sing every song. If you don't know a song well enough (in my opinion!), then just stand at the back and don't sing it.

    I try and always add last minute changes so that people know that if they miss that rehearsal, they won't know what's happening!

    Very good topic and lens! I think as Christians we have become too permissive in the Lord's church and about the Lord's work.

    Hard question! As a choir director I want to say "no rehearsal - no sing" to be fair to the others who have attended faithfully and prepared to sing their best. But, as a Christian choir director, how can I turn down anyone who wants to come and sing to the Lord! I have to admit I've been known to gently remind groups that we want to give our best to Him, and one way to do that is to attend rehearsals regularly. It will be interesting to see what others say about this. :)
