Get familiar with the MEMBERS section of our website

We’ve built an entire Member section on our website. Singers can download and print their sheet music (coming soon), listen to practice files of their part (coming soon), submit video auditions and practice sessions, and stay current with announcements. Parents can view purchase history and tuition payments.

A note about outfits

Cantus singers will provide their own outfits for our concerts this season. We will provide guidelines and then let you show your own style. You looked fabulous at our Season 12 Finale Concert and our music videos, and we look forward to doing something similar this year. Specific outfit guidelines will be distributed by November for the Winter Concert and March for the Finale Concert.

Cantus illness policy

Our family needs your help! As you may know, our older son has a disability and an immune disorder. He is so sweet, and very, very fragile. If we bring illness home to him, Cantus will shut down so that we can care for him. Even the smallest illness of any kind can hospitalize him, and my husband and I are both heavily invested in everything “behind the scenes” with Cantus. We know this is a tricky combination when working with so many kids! We love our son and we love your children. Please help us to be able to give to both.

Please do not come to rehearsal sick. If your singer is unsure if they have allergies or sickness, please stay home. If your family has Covid, please do not attend until consulting with Erika McCauley and providing a negative test. That sacrifice will allow Cantus as an organization to keep running.

We will make practice files available on the website so that your singer can continue to practice from home when they are unable to come to rehearsal.

Please report all absences by clicking the Absences icon on the Members page.
