Assistantship with the Rhode Island Children's Chorus
for High School Students in grades 10-12
Application Deadline: Saturday, August 23
2007-2008 Assistants
WHAT: Each year several talented high school singers with leadership abilities are selected to serve as mentors and assist with all choral activities for the Rhode Island Children’s Chorus (RICC), a select ensemble that performs regularly
with the Providence Singers, the RI Philharmonic, and at other prestigious events. This is a volunteer position that has enabled many past assistants to receive college scholarships and earn acceptance into the National Honor Society. For those students who need to do community service work with the children’s chorus will satisfy this requirement.
WHEN: The RICC rehearses on Sunday afternoons and/or on Friday evenings. Each of the three choruses rehearses for 2 hours,
but the assistants will be appointed to two ensembles. Several performances are scheduled throughout the year.
WHO: Talented female singers in grades 10-12 with an interest in music and children (because the
RICC is a treble chorus, only sopranos and altos are needed at this time). Preference will be given to students interested in pursuing a career in music education.
BENEFITS: The RICC assistants will receive all of their music and their concert shirts free of charge.
They will not be responsible for paying any membership tuition. They will need to make a
one-time purchase of a concert dress, which is approximately $50. The assistants will have the
opportunity to expand their vocal range and improve vocal technique, will be exposed to
a wide variety of music, will perform in prestigious events, and, most importantly, will gain experience serving
as role models for young children.
APPLICATION PROCESS: Please fill out the attached application and email it to the address below.
The conductor, Ms. Noel will call to set up a brief interview. We hope you will
consider this wonderful opportunity. We look forward to hearing from you!
Saturday, August 23 from 1:00-4:00pm.
