Notes about fees
If you are a new member, your first fees instalment includes a one-time $30 deposit for sheet music, which is refundable once you return all sheet music in good condition to the music librarian, within 12 months of leaving the choir.
If you are a new member who is paying your fees in quarterly instalments, then only your first instalment is at the new-member rate. Subsequent quarterly instalments are at the continuing-member rate. In other words, you pay a music deposit only once.
If you compare the fees paid in full at the beginning of the year with the fees paid in four instalments, you will notice that there is effectively a $25 discount ($20 for concession holders) for paying fees in full at the beginning of the year.
