Payment Options

Registration mid-season, space permitting, will have pro-rated fees upon arrangement. Otherwise, payment for the season has two options:

One payment - sign up now, pay September 2022.
Two payments - sign up now, pay half September 2022, pay a second on January 1, 2023. Nominal extra fee applies.

Additional Fees and Considerations

In-lieu of Volunteering

The NSCE relies with gratitude on parent volunteers to support our programs and performances. In addition to the basic expectation that each family helps to sell tickets to performances, everyone is asked to commit to at least ~10 hours over the course of the year. Exact roles and time commitments are described in the registration form. If you are unable to volunteer your time, an additional $100 fee is assessed on top of your program fees during the registration process.

NSCE Student Bursary

We are building a student bursary fund on a limited basis to offset tuition fees. Please consider adding an amount to your fees to support this effort

Seniors Retreats

The Senior Ensemble has two retreats/season in September and January. Each retreat costs $175. This fee covers food, venue rental and payment of professional musicians who participate in the retreat. Registration and payment for retreats will occur separately from program registration.

Junior and Senior Tours/Trips

Additional fees are assessed, on a cost recovery basis, for 1 -2 tours and/or trips over the course of the season.

T-shirts

All SnT, Junior and Senior ensemble musicians require a colourful NSCE t-shirt ($20/each) for performances. Please contact merch@nsce.ca to order one.

The North Shore Celtic Ensemble has a dual mandate: To inspire youth to do more and go further with music, and to use music to build and strengthen community connections. We are a non-profit society and registered charity.
