The VUMmer Hummers
Rehearsals are Thursday afternoons from 3:45 to 4:45 during the school year, beginning with a brief snack time.
Come join the fun & become a VUMmer HUMmer! VUMmer HUMmers is the awesome children’s choir at VUMC that welcomes all elementary-aged children to sing and perform throughout the school year. VUMmers rehearse Thursdays from 3:45-4:45 p.m. (carpooling available) at the church and sing 1 to 2 times a month during services and performs 2 musicals over the school year.
Build the Membership New Members Needed Each year our 6th graders graduated from VUMmers so we are always seeking new members. Please encourage anyone in grades 1 - 5 to join our group. It's lots of fun! Car Pooling Available If your child is in need of a ride to VUMmer rehearsal, please make arrangements in advance by calling the church office at 785-3367.
Rehearsals Rehearsals remain on Thursday afternoons from 3:45 to 4:45. As we get closer to musical time, the rehearsals may extend to 5:00. We will email any change to the rehearsal schedule below and your child will be informed of any changes. Please make every effort to have your child at the church by 3:45 for snack (dining room) or 4:00 (music room) to begin rehearsal.
Cancellations If there is no school, VUMmer rehearsal is canceled. Please call the church office if you are not sure whether or not practice will be canceled. Music Folder Please send your child with a double pocketed sturdy folder to hold his/her music. Please be sure your child’s name is prominently written on the folder and that they bring the folder to EVERY rehearsal. Emergency Information Please provide an emergency phone number (ie. cell phone) and contact to be used during rehearsal time. Rehearsal Pickup Please provide a list of people who will pick up your child(ren) and if they should wait inside or if they are to be released to go outside for pickup.

Information Update We ask that each family confirms their information along with providing an emergency number for contact during rehearsals and list the person/people that will pick up your child(ren).
