If an event requires absence from other classes it constitutes an excused absence. Athletics are extracurricular activities. The Music Department Chairpersons and the Athletic Director will meet in the spring to establish a Common Calendar with as few conflicts as possible. Where there is a conflict, coaches will send a roster of students to the affected director for resolution. Careful attendance records should be kept for all events and practices.
Students are responsible for making sure that their attendance at shared practices is recorded.
Curricular Music events take priority over Athletic events. Scheduled Music practice takes priority over Sports practice. If an event must be rescheduled on the same date and time as a previously scheduled event, the event originally scheduled takes precedence. Unscheduled or irregularly scheduled practices have a lower priority than previously scheduled commitments. Flexibility is essential on the part of all concerned.
