Marching Band ABSENCES

Marching band is, by its very nature, a group effort, and it is VERY difficult for the group to make progress when students are absent, especially for long periods of time. We work hard to keep MOST of the summer free for most of our students, so that we can have ALL our students present when we return.

However, we know that absences are inevitable. If you know you will be absent for a rehearsal or performance, please HAVE A PARENT/GUARDIAN fill out THIS ABSENCE FORM as early as possible. FILLING OUT THE ABSENCE FORM DOES NOT MEAN THE ABSENCE WILL BE EXCUSED; IT MERELY HELPS STAFF PLAN FOR REHEARSALS. For information about excused vs. unexcused absences, please read the instructions on the absence form.

SPECIAL NOTE: IF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN A FALL, SCHOOL-AFFILIATED SPORT, AND THERE IS A DIRECT CONFLICT BETWEEN A BAND ACTIVITY AND YOUR SPORT, PLEASE EMAIL MR. FOSTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. HE WILL WORK WITH YOUR COACH TO ARRANGE A SUITABLE COMPROMISE.
