Concert expectations
*Attendance is required at scheduled concerts! Extracurricular activities and/or outside performances will not be excused
Orchestra is a team effort and your contribution to this team is important. Concerts are what we work towards and serve as our way of demonstrating what we have learned. Our concerts are our EOG's!
All students are expected to arrive at the provided Call Time before each concert in full concert dress.
I will provide dress rehearsal and call times in advance. Your attendance to dress rehearsal is mandatory unless you have made other arrangements with me. Dress rehearsal attendance and participation is worth half of your concert grade.
We will conduct ourselves professionally on and off stage.
When not on stage, we will give the performing group the same respect, attention, and support that we would want while performing.
I must be notified by a parent or guardian at least 2 weeks in advance if a student will not be able to attend a concert. In case of an emergency, contact me ASAP. Alternative assignments will only be given with excused proper notification of missing a concert.
Concert dress
All students should arrive before concert time in full concert attire. You will not be allowed on stage without the proper attire. If you need help obtaining the proper dress attire, please see me at least 2 weeks before a concert.
