Students are expected to notify employers to ensure that they are available for rehearsal.
To be excused from one or more pre-band camp rehearsals, a parent email is required.
Please email the appropriate staff member (listed here) your anticipated SUMMER absences by Friday, May 29th.

SEASON ATTENDANCE POLICY (band camp and beyond)
SEASON ATTENDANCE POLICY (band camp and beyond)
There are no “bench-warmers” in marching band; everyone plays a key roll on our team. Therefore, attendance is absolutely critical to our success. We all need you here and on time.
All rehearsals and performances are strictly mandatory. Students may only be excused due to illness or family emergency. Extenuating circumstances or commitments (weddings!) will be considered on a case-by-case basis and exceptions must be requested of Ms. Broadway prior to the start of the season.
Special arrangements for missing or coming late to a season rehearsal must be requested & approved by your caption head (Ms. Broadway for winds) at least 2 weeks prior to the absence.
Special arrangements to miss a season performance must be requested & approved by your caption head AND Mr. G prior to the start of the season
Failure to adhere to these expectations may result in your exclusion from a performance, removal from a portion of the show, or even dismissal from the team.
Important Note: if you have a prior commitment that calls into question your ability to participate in marching band, please inform Mr. G to see if something can be resolved. Please don’t make the assumption that you can’t do it!!
