Attendance

ROAR is open to anyone wanting the opportunity to be part of a large community choir.

Due to Public Liability and administration restraints, choir sessions may only be attended by those who are officially enrolled. Regrettably, this means we cannot accommodate non-members of the choir, be they friends or children. (If you do have younger children, the choir may be that golden opportunity to have some of your 'own time')

ROAR operates on the basis of 'ten week terms'. You are strongly encouraged to attend all ten weeks to maximize this opportunity. As fees are paid for the 'term', there can be no refund for individual classes missed by participants.
