Students at McClelland are expected at all times to represent themselves as maturely-behaving, sharp-looking young men and women. This is especially true during public performances, including all concerts and any outings or excursions. When performing, part of good stage presence is remembering that every moment in front of an audience is part of that performance, including time sitting down and waiting.
