This orchestra will explore many new possibilities for additional ensembles through quartets and quintets. Rehearsals will stress competence in the musical elements of phrasing, tone color, technique and orchestral discipline. This ensemble will use standard orchestral literature. Regular attendance as well as knowing your music is expected at rehearsals and concerts. You are responsible for checking in at the attendance desk before all rehearsals and concerts.
Attendance is recorded by the coordinator.
School band and orchestra activities always come first and are excused absences. If you miss more than two rehearsals within a concert period, or if you miss the dress rehearsal, contact the conductor to determine if you will be able to perform in the concert. Two tardy arrivals will equal one absence. Rehearsals You are expected to arrive 15 minutes early for rehearsals in order to check in with the coordinator, warm up, tune instruments, and be ready to play at the appointed rehearsal time. The conductor expects your full attention.
