 Absence

• If your child will be absent please let us know by email so we know not to expect them. Emailing your child’s ensemble leader is best, but on the night, you can text the Centre emergency number on 07860 342701

If your child is absent and you don’t inform us, or if your child misses a number of rehearsals, they could lose their place in the ensemble or not be permitted to perform in the next concert. We expect all children to attend and perform in concerts as musical decisions are made based on the members of the group, and balance of parts. If for any reason you know that your child will be unable to perform in the next concert, you must inform the ensemble leader in plenty of time.
