Morning Rehearsals
Mixed Chorus and Freshman Chorus have a mandatory morning rehearsal for each concert. Mixed Chorus morning rehearsal is always at 7:30 AM on the day of the concert. Freshman Chorus morning rehearsal is always at 7:30 AM the morning before the concert.
Attendance at extra rehearsals outside the school day and performances is required and a portion of the student's concert grade. Students and parents need to plan ahead. Please anticipate transportation needs.
Concert Attendance
Concert attendance is mandatory. Consider each concert a final exam to all the study introduced each quarter.
Dealing with Absence
If a student knows he/she is going to miss an extra rehearsal or performance, he/she must obtain, fill our and turn in an “EXCUSE ABSENCE FORM” in advance of the absence. This forms can be found on the bulletin board in the choir room and below. Examples of excused absences: serious illness, death in family, family emergency. Non-school activities, trips, camping, shopping, etc. are NOT considered excused absences. Communication of the absence must be made to the director. If no communication is forthcoming, the absence will be considered unexcused. The difference between an excused absence and unexcused absence is not whether or not a students is required to recover the unearned grading points, but rather whether or not the student is offered the opportunity to recover the points.
