Thank you for volunteering as a parent helper for the String Ensemble rehearsals. We cannot run the ensemble without assistance from parents!

The role of a parent helper in rehearsals is an interactive one. The conductor will need your help in moving equipment, assisting with noise control, and minimizing the disruption of late comers.

Responsibilities

  • Arrive at K-2 site no later than 3.10 pm and sign in at Office.
  • Collect the folder with ensemble roll and parent helper info from admin staff.
  • Assist with setup of chairs and music stands in School Hall.
  • Mark the roll as children arrive.
  • Direct children to tune their instruments with help from the conductor or the senior students (ensure chatter is kept to a reasonable volume and that late comers cause minimal disruption).
  • During rehearsal help out younger players who may be struggling to keep up (sit with them, provide reassurance, offer assistance etc).
  • Wipe down chairs, tables and music stands and help pack them away at the end of the rehearsal.
  • Proceed back to the office to sign out and return the roll folder.
