Chesapeake Harmony Music Team

Within the Music Team there are responsibilities in addition to the section leaders. These include the Chorus Manager, Visual Team Leader, Music Librarian, Costumes and Script.

The Chorus Manager's job is to procure performances for the chorus via personal contact, telephone, e-mail or any other means of correspondence. She arranges the time, date, place, fee and confirms the availability of the Director and chorus members before committing to a performance. There must be a balance of vocal parts before the director will approve a performance. Once approved, the manager confirms the details with the customer and proceeds to coordinate the details between the chorus and the contact person which includes the various performance details (sound, stage, lighting, parking arrangements, and driving directions). She prepares a performance checklist with the details needed by the chorus members (costume, makeup, time, location, directions, song repertoire and script). It is the responsibility of the Chorus Manager to collect payments agreed upon for the performance.

The Visual Team Leader enlists chorus members to participate in developing and creating the planned choreo moves of the chorus. Makes sure there is a choreo leader available to present and teach the planned moves and answer chorus questions.  Encourage chorus members to participate on the visual team.

The Music Librarian's job is to legally procure music both written and in learning tape format. The chorus music library is maintained and controlled in the copying and distribution of chorus music to follow and adhere to copyright laws. Guestbooks are maintained for nonmembers to join in the singing.

The Costume Committee is responsible for outfitting the chorus in costumes and accessories which, while reflecting the personality of the chorus, are also comfortable and appropriate for performances and/or personal appearances.  Final decisions and purchases are made upon approval from the Director.  The Chair maintains inventory and provides new members with costumes as needed.

The Script Committee who, after receiving the song list from the Director, write a script befitting the performance, function and/or sing out.  Input and final approval is given by the Director.
