| Absence affects performance in band classes. Each student's participation
affects the group outcome, and each student plays a valuable role in the process. It is imperative that we establish attendance
guidelines that support this learning process for both the individual and the group. Attendance is related to both self-discipline
and learning. |
| Band students are required to attend all after school rehearsals. It is your responsibility
to be in attendance at all rehearsals and performances. |
| | | | |
| Excused Absences From Rehearsal Include: |
| | | personal absence which confines you at home (excuse absence
from school) |
| | | death in the family |
| | | religious holiday (please notify ahead of time) |
| | | other prearranged absences approved by the school and/or director
(5 day written notice is required) |
| | Please
do not hesitate to call the band director for clarifications. |
| |
| Co-curricular Activity Absenteeism Policy: |
| | In order for a student
to participate in an after-school performance, including practice, he/she must either: |
| | | be in attendance for more than half of the school day |
| | | have an excused absence. |
| | A student may not participate in an after school performance, including practice, if: |
| | | the absence from school that day is unexcused |
| | | the student is serving an out-of-school suspension |
| | | the student is serving an in-school suspension |
| | | the student has not been in school half of the day |

| | | | Keep a Calendar! It
would be wise, although not required, for students to acquire an academic year calendar, and students should have a central
location in which to record rehearsal requirements, upcoming exams, projects, and other special school events. Attendance
at meetings for other school activities and clubs must be arranged so as not to conflict with band rehearsals. Failure
to be prepared in any way for class, a scheduled performance, or after-school rehearsal will result in a lowered daily grade
for that class period. You must be in your seat five minutes before the meeting time, in uniform (unless otherwise stated),
warmed up, and ready to play |
