The Vermont All State Music Festival gives participants an intensive experience in a performance ensemble. A participant must attend all rehearsals, concerts and all other scheduled festival activities. The ensemble’s preparation and performance would be severely harmed without this policy. The festival’s educational objective requires that a participant experience ALL rehearsals and other activities, follow curfews and other policies, and be fully prepared to contribute to the final performances. Failure to attend all of the festival’s rehearsals, concerts and other activities will result in disqualification from further participation in this year’s festival, and may result in disqualification from future festivals. In the event of an illness or family emergency that requires the student to be excused from a festival event, the participant will not be penalized from participation in future festivals. Because it is essential for all performers to participate in all aspects of the preparation, there are no exceptions to the requirement that a participant attend all rehearsals and other required activities in order to perform in the festival.
