Additional activities of the chorus, chorus retreat, recording, etc. will be worth 50 points. The total number of points possible will be divided into the total number of points earned to determine a final percentage and grade. Of the points available for rehearsals, one half are reserved for attendance and one half are reserved for effort and behavior. A student arriving to chorus rehearsal prior to the opening prayer will receive all possible attendance points. Students leaving rehearsal early will have attendance points deducted on the same basis as those arriving late.
Students are responsible for providing appropriate documentation for such excuses.
Routine illnesses, appointments, etc. will not be considered for excuses. If they are not prepared for the next selection to be studied because of talking, if they are not sitting with proper posture, if they seem to be generally disinterested, etc., points will be deducted from the points that can be earned. Each concert will be worth 50 points. Tours will be worth the total number of concerts multiplied by 50 points. Each chorus member is expected to be at each concert.
