All singers registered in Ilumini are required to attend the Ilumini Summer Choral Intensive, held from August 25-29, 2025. Is your child able to attend this intensive? (See below for more information.)(Required)

Yes

No, and I will email HCC about this conflict ASAP.

If you select no, we ask that you please be in touch with Artistic Director, Melanie Tellez (melanie@hamiltonchildrenschoir.com), ASAP, to discuss this further. We have found that this week is essential learning and social time for Ilumini. Historically, singers that miss this week often struggle to keep up throughout the year or have ended up leaving the program entirely. This year's Ilumini Summer Choral Intensive will be held at Pearce Williams Camp Canada (009 Iona Rd, Fingal, ON) which is approximately 1.5 hours from downtown Hamilton. Singers will be bussed both ways.

Fundraising Information(Required)

I understand that participation in HCC will require me to engage in fundraising activities to support the organization.

Hamilton Children’s Choir is a non-profit program that asks its members' to participate in fundraising activities. To keep HCC as affordable to families as possible, members’ program fees only cover approximately 30% of the actual program costs. With that, and in addition to other development activities, we engage in a number of different fundraising efforts that may require assistance from our full HCC community, including singers and their families. This may include the selling of goods, asking friends/family for donations, and encouraging ticket sales at our events.

Promotional Material(Required)

In addition to receiving applicable Program correspondence via e-mail or other electronic communication, the Participant expressly consents to receive any marketing correspondence from the Provider upon registration in the Program. The Participant may unsubscribe from any such marketing lists without affecting access to the Program.

Photo Consent & Recorded Material(Required)

I understand that the Provider will gather audio-visual content, not limited to, film photographs, digital photographs, motion picture and video recorded footage, and audio recordings of the Program Participants. Due to the group nature of this activity, the Provider will not remove individual Participants from audio-visual content. Therefore, the Participant expressly consents to the use of all aforementioned audio-visual content for promotional and educational purposes.
