Valencia Community College now participates in the Epcot Candlelight Processional. Now, any student, faculty and/or staff member at any Valencia campus will be able to learn the music, rehearse with a large mass choir and then go to Epcot and be a part of a spectacular holiday show featuring a 300+ voice chorus, 50-piece orchestra, the Voices of Liberty and a celebrity narrator. ________________________________________________________ Requirements to Join: § Be currently enrolled as a part/full time student in a Valencia Fall 2008 Semester Course (including Voices of Valencia, Valencia A Cappella Chorale or Valencia Chamber Chorus) or be a member of the Valencia part/full time Faculty or Staff and be able to provide proof at first rehearsal. [If you drop or are dropped from your course, you will forfeit your eligibility.] § Attend all six rehearsals; there will be no make-up rehearsals this year. (Dates & Info under the "Rehearsal Info" button on the left). There will also be a MANDATORY performance at VCC-East Campus, more information to come. [Everyone must know their music and be memorized by the last rehearsal to be eligible to go to Epcot Candlelight.] § Pay the $20.00 fee to cover incidentals and also pay for bus trip to Epcot Candlelight. NEW!! This year all members of Voices of Valencia, Valencia A Cappella Chorale and/or Valencia Chamber Chorus join for FREE; just pay bus fees!! [The bus fees separate from the incidental fee.] § Ride to Epcot with the chorus, you may not arrive on your own this includes Students, Disney Cast Members, Valencia Faculty and Staff. ALL chorus members must ride together (per Disney) [This is not negotiable.] § Be able to learn (memorize) music by performance date. We will provide assistance during all rehearsals but you will not be allowed to bring music with you to Epcot. Recorders are welcome and encouraged. § Follow the dress code for performances. [Failure to do so will cause you to forfeit your eligibility.] § Follow the guidelines set up by the Chorus Facilitator/Director and Walt Disney World Entertainment. [Failure to do so will cause you to forfeit your eligibility.] |
Disclaimer - There is NO guarantee that the Valencia Candlelight Chorus will be accepted into the Epcot Candlelight Chorus. As with ANY CHORAL GROUP, we must prepare a Video Audition Tape and be accepted to Candlelight by Disney. All Dates of performance are set by Disney and we do NOT have control over when we will get to perform, provided we are accepted to Candlelight. The Voices of Valencia have been accepted to the last Seven (7) years of performing at Epcot, but our ability to do a high quality performance on our audition tape will be the deciding factor.
