As we prepare for the annual Large Group Performance Evaluations and the Bahamas Cruise Performance, we will be having some before school and after school rehearsals in order to prepare for these upcoming performances. Students are expected to participate in all rehearsals and performances unless excused by the director. This includes any extra before or after school rehearsals. Advance notice is to be given to the director if a prior commitment causes a student to miss a rehearsal or performance.
A prior commitment is a date already committed to another event when the orchestra rehearsal/ performance is announced, not something more attractive that comes up a week before the rehearsal/ performance. If you have a conflict, please inform Ms. Doemel, or Mr. Mori the next day after a rehearsal or concert date is announced. Religious holidays or conflicts with individual religious beliefs are considered excused, if the director is notified in writing by a parent.
