the new struggles of the PDC

The PDC has a lot of struggling to do if it hopes to keep itself afloat amidst the changing times that has found its membership dwindling ever so slowly. to be fair, the younger generations in the locality of the St. Paul of the Cross parish has been dwindling in the past years. However, the choir should find a way to provide for the needs of the group in these aspects:

Better Choir Value.
Fr. Ric has mentioned that the involvement of the current membership is already a feat in itself, being committed to a 6AM schedule. are the members really committed to this time? Or have we just gotten so used to the schedule so much that it never got out of our systems anymore? A new attendance system was recently implemented to penalize delinquent members, but will it be enough to get people back in line?

Another approach that could be explored is to find a way to create value with one's membership in the choir. More voice lessons, more songs, more power (via GA-deliberated decisions) - these all give the members better reasons to stay, allowing them to have a hand in steering the choir's direction.

More Aggressive Recruitment.
The choir has only done one strict recruitment run, and that one was only performed for one day, as opposed to the 2-3 Sundays that it was originally planned for. Posters were also placed in key areas near the Church. How come there were so few who heeded the call? surely there are more people who are interested in singing. After all, we are Filipinos.

While linked to the need for value creation, the group needs to exert more effort in finding ways to infuse fresh blood into the already struggling group.
