How do you view this process/requirement/practice for choruses?
Do singers have to live with a different standard than instrumentalists?
Is performance of the music or the theatre (appearance) in a choral performance most important?
Instrumentalists rarely dance or wear costumes - why are choral singers required to do this?
What is most important?
What should be the standards for AMCA?
Get in on the discussion!!!!
