Organisation and Management

	The Choir is run by an elected Committee of members that is responsible for all administrative and financial aspects of the Choir's operation. Many other Choir members are involved in helping rehearsals, concerts and social events run smoothly.
	The musical side of the Choir is in the capable hands of its Musical Director, Walter (Wattie) Thomson. Wattie has the final say on all musical content, rehearsal and presentation.
	The Choir itself is organised into the normal vocal parts - Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass with subdivisions for pieces requiring 6 or 8 parts. Anyone interested in joining the Choir will be auditioned by Wattie to determine their level of musical ability and into which part they might best fit. The entire Choir is re-auditioned at intervals to help maintain the overall standard.

Choir Finance

The Choir is entirely self-funding and does, from time to time, help to raise money for local churches and charities. Members pay a modest annual subscription and are committed to selling tickets for the two main concerts but all music is provided free of charge. The Choir owns a large library of choral music and borrows or hires other pieces as required.

Rehearsals

Rehearsals take place in the main hall of St. Columba's Church of Scotland on Hillhouse Road, Blackhall. The Choir rehearses from September through to May on most Sunday evenings from 7.30pm to about 9.30pm. There is normally at least one orchestral rehearsal before any major concert.
