SYMPHONIC BAND REHEARSAL MONDAY

Fill out this online form to request an excused absence. NOTE - Everyone needs to be at Monday's rehearsal! Please make it a priority. If you absolutely cannot attend on Monday, you may not be allowed to perform on Tuesday. https://forms.gle/JEwJXMWoWokxG8RF6

Monday is our final after-school rehearsal before Tuesday's concert.

Unexcused absences count as a zero in the grade book.

You may miss up to half of the total rehearsal time (all four rehearsals) with an excused absence (such as sports, doctor appointments, etc.). In other words, you can miss up to 3 hours of rehearsal time. Once you miss more than half of the after-school rehearsal time, you will not be allowed to perform on the concert, which will have a negative impact on your grade.

CONCERT - TUESDAY

Our concert is Tuesday, December 7, starting at 7:00 p.m. in the SCHS Auditorium. Report time for SCHS Band members is 6:30 p.m. in the Band Room. We are sharing this concert with the SCMS Band.

ATTIRE: All black, long black, including shoes. Here's a quick chart to help you know if you can wear it or not:
