    Greetings-

    Would anyone care to share their choir guidelines? I'm working in a small rural parish that has an insular, low expectations and entitled choir culture with several lovely people along with some domineering, toxic elements operating as well. I welcome the opportunity to review any that you've already implemented, as I write this important document.

    I've got a good working draft with structure around rehearsals, communications/problem solving, while centering the music ministry around spiritual formation as the basis for effective musical service, along with a code of conduct, but I'm in a challenging environment, and want to make sure I've got the best possible framework as I educate, rebuild and hopefully inspire the choir culture.

    Thank you!

    My only rule for choirsters:
    Don't even look at the microphone if you didn't come to rehearsal.
