Section 2:  Class Rules

1. Be Prepared,

   1. Each Musician should be ready to perform any selection from the concert and should be able to do this on command.  They should also have all necessary equipment ready before class begins.

2. Be On Time,

   1. Being punctual is vital to having a successful rehearsal because when you show up late, it means others have to wait for you and you lose valuable, irreplaceable rehearsal time.

   2. All ensembles begin group tuning at the start of the class.  Students who are not in their seats with instruments out at the bell will be considered Tardy.

3. Be Respectful.

   1. Everyone appreciates being treated kindly.  Manners and courtesy will be expected at all times in the orchestra.

4. Be Responsible

   1. There is work to be done; do it without hesitation. Your success is your responsibility and it will affect everyone around you because, in an orchestra, nobody is a bench player (except pianist JK).
