These are some of the most frequently asked questions
that Westwinds receives.
Do I have to be 18 years of
age in order to join and perform in Westwinds?
Yes. Westwinds is an Adult organization and you must
be 18 years of age in order to become a member of the
Society.
Does Westwinds operate any
non-Adult groups?
No. Westwinds does not compete with existing musical
education groups such as the boards of education,
colleges, etc.
Why do rehearsals start so
late in September and January?
As Westwinds rents rehearsal space in schools, our
access to those venues is set out by Calgary Parks and
Recreation. We are not allowed in the schools until the
week after students have returned to classes.
What is the relationship
between the Executive and the Directors?
The Executive and Directors have a very positive working
relationship. The Directors are responsible for the
artistic integrity of Westwinds, including selection of
music, programs for events, etc. The Executive and other
volunteers look after the infrastructure to ensure that
the program can continue.
What plans are in the works for Westwinds travel in the
summer of 2010?
A trip to Spain is being planned for the summer of 2010. Visit the Spain 2010 Tour page for more information.
What is the role of the
Group Manager?
The Group
Managers act as liaison between the individual groups
and the Executive & office. They play a vital role in
ensuring that members are kept abreast of current
information. They also help with various tasks within
the group as arranged with their Directors and the
office. The Group Managers meet together occasionally to
share ideas and concerns.
