Chorus
A conductor and those under him/her, including the chorus,
are usually only used in a music production.
The Chorus Members of a performance have the following
responsibilities.
1) They make up the non-speaking singers in a
production. In many musicals, these are simply known as
"Townspeople." Sometimes they are broken down into
mothers, fathers, parents, daughters, sons, or children for specific songs
in the production. These are those individuals that make up the
background of the rest of the production. Usually, most of these
characters are un-named although some of them may have occupational names
such as policeman, rabbi, etc.
2) They must learn all of the chorus numbers and the
accompanying choreography.
3) They are hired by either the director or vocal director
and report directly to the vocal director.
4) They are usually paid hourly for the time that
they actually work.
