Music Department Performance Policies Back to Music Department Home Page Performance Policies Performances are an integral component of the band and choral programs at Mt. Ararat.
Most performances are outside of the regular school day.
However, they are required as part of the curriculum of the course, and are not considered extra-curricular activities. Attendance at regularly scheduled performances is mandatory and unexcused absences from these performances will count against a student's grade for the course. Student work or participation in an extra-curricular event will not be considered excusable. Membership in a performing group is at the discretion of the director of that performing ensemble and is dependent on the student's maintaining musical proficiency. Attendanceat all performances is required of all members of the ensemble and is an integral part of the student's grade for the course.
