Students should only miss a Band, Orchestra, or Chorus rehearsal if they are absent from school or if a family problem occurs. A phone call or email must follow when a student returns to school if the student is not on the school absentee bulletin. If there is a conflict in advance, the student should see their director to work out the problem.

Punctuality is a crucial aspect of ensemble participation. Students who are late or miss rehearsals on a regular basis may not be permitted to participate in the upcoming concert, at the director’s discretion. Car-pooling is suggested for the before school rehearsals. 

**Drop-off for rehearsals is at door #23 of the auditorium circle. For security and safety reasons, door #23 is open from 6:40 a.m. to 6:55 a.m., at which time the door will be closed. Per administration, once the door is closed we are not permitted to open it for anybody who knocks -- should you be late, you MUST come in through the main office. Please be on time for rehearsals!**  

Rehearsals start the week of 9/9/24.
