Always have a pencil in your folder for making notes. This will be part of your grade. Students are to be in their seats with the tardy bell rings. The board will list all of the pieces we'll be playing on a particular day in the proper order. You must get them out at the beginning of class to make transition time shorter.
Book bags are to be dropped off on the table by the door.
Do not do other homework in during rehearsal - doing so will question your commitment to the group. To receive an excused absence for any reason, you must notify the director two weeks prior to a performance. Absences due to work are NOT excused. Your attitude and behavior should reflect that goal. Five points will be deducted from your grade each time you break any of the above rules.
