Registration
Welcome to the Account Creation for Vocal Essence of the Southern Tier (VEST)!
This is the registration process to create an account. You need to do this to register for all ensembles! We're excited to welcome your family to our musical community! Whether you are registering for an ensemble, or you support VEST through donation, this process will guide you through everything you need.
You will register for one ensemble at a time, and have the option to add other ensembles in the checkout process!
The first step will be creating your account, and then you will complete the registration process.
-
Step 1: Create your own account. This will be used to manage all registrations
- Step 2: There is a one-time $25 registration fee to become a member of VEST and a member intake form.
- We are committed to barrier-free access, so this fee can be personalized from $0-$25 to suit your budget. Financial restraints should never cause anyone who wishes to sing to join.
-
For those registering for their minors in the children or youth ensembles:
- Step 3: Once your account is created, you'll have the option to add and register one or more children.
- Step 4: Each child will have their own profile and can be assigned to the appropriate choir or ensemble.
What You’ll Need:
-
Basic contact information
-
Your child’s details, if applicable (added in a later step)
-
Required forms
-
Payment details
Once the registration process is complete, you'll receive confirmation and next steps from the choir leadership.
