You are allowed four absences per semester. If you are tardy two times, it will count as one absence. If there is an emergency situation, which will be determined case by case, you must make up every rehearsal missed in excess of the allotted four absences. One hour make up rehearsals will be scheduled by your section leader for each rehearsal missed. B. Extra Rehearsals Extra Rehearsals will be announced, when possible, at least a week in advance of the rehearsal.
Mandatory attendance is required.
Absence from an extra rehearsal will be excused only in the event of severe sickness or an emergency . In order for the absence to be excused, I must be contacted prior to the extra rehearsal. You will be told whether the absence will be excused or unexcused. In most cases, whether excused or unexcused, an absence from an extra rehearsal will prohibit you from participating the subsequent concert. A letter grade will be deducted from your final grade for each unexcused absence from an extra rehearsal.
