Attendance at all performance is required. Band and orchestra are, by nature, a team experience, and performances are a celebration of huge accomplishments. The reward of a student’s hard work and effort cannot be fully realized without the closure of a performance.
However, life does happen. In the event of an excused absence, a make-up assignment will be assigned. Examples of excused absences include student illness, or a family emergency (such as a sudden death). This does not include vacations. All absences must be accompanied by documentation. Failure to produce such from a parent for said event will result in an unexcused absence. It is each student’s responsibility to get and complete make-up assignments in a timely fashion as assigned by the director.
All excused absences may be reviewed by the entirety of the music department faculty for validity and acceptance.
