It is futile to work for good ensemble playing and balance even if one singer is missing from the section. Being unprepared without music or instrument is almost as serious. Two instances of unexcused absence, tardiness or being unprepared within a grading period will lower the unit grade. Rehearsals on Stage require cooperation on everyone's part. Equipment must be moved, groups set up and adjusted.
Students can do their part by quickly promptly.
Performances are the culmination of many hours of work and serve to complete the learning process. It is important that you meet your performance obligations except in cases of severe illness and emergencies. Unexcused absences will count as an E for this unit. Performance schedules will be published in September in order to aid the student in planning accordingly. Additional engagements will be accepted during the year but only with the approval of the performing group.
