SYMPHONIC BAND REHEARSAL - THURSDAY
Students who will miss this week's Thursday afternoon rehearsal must have any possible absence cleared by me by Wednesday if it is to be considered excused, with the exception of illness. I need an email, Remind text, or written note from a parent; otherwise, I will assume the student is not planning to attend the concert and will plan accordingly. NOTE: Missing rehearsals and/or the concert will have a substantial effect on your grade in your band class.
