BAND REHEARSAL & PERFORMANCE ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance at ALL scheduled rehearsals and
performances is required
and is part of your basic membership in Band.
This
is a fundamental and integral part of your
membership in Band. Performances are a public
demonstration of what has been learned in Band,
they are considered the “final exams” for the
Band class. Music is meant to be heard. Each
performer in the ensemble is dependent on each
Band member being present to perform their
specific and integral part. Because the Band is
more than just a collection of individual
performers, it is necessary that we rehearse and
perform as a unified group.
Problems with
individual attendance seriously limits our
ability to be consistent and strive for
excellence. Every attempt has been made to
structure an efficient and effective Band
calendar that includes a reasonable number of
rehearsals and performances and is respectful of
your time and is aligned with realizing our
goals of achieving excellence.
If
WE are to be successful, YOU must be there.
Every member is a “starter.” There are no
“benchwarmers” or “alternates” in our Band!
The
only EXCUSED ABSENCES from a scheduled rehearsal
are:
•
You are ill the day of the rehearsal, and if
school were in session you would be absent from
school. Call the Band Office, 651-423-7541, in
advance to report your illness/absence.
• A family emergency occurs. Call the Band
Office ASAP, 651-423-7541.
• Regarding summer Band rehearsals only, you are
participating in a family vacation or summer
camp (EXCEPTIONS: Band Camp & Drill Week). You
must notify the Band Directors at least three
weeks in advance, in writing.
• Regarding summer Band rehearsals only, you are
attending a summer camp (EXCEPTIONS: Band Camp &
Drill Week). You must notify the Band Directors
at least three weeks in advance, in writing.
The
only EXCUSED ABSENCES from a scheduled
performance are:
•
You are ill the day of the
rehearsal/performance, and are absent from
school. Please call the Band Office,
651-423-7541, in advance to report your
illness/absence.
• A family emergency occurs. Please call the
Band Office ASAP, 651-423-7541.
Any other absence from a rehearsal or
performance is unexcused. Failure to notify the
Band Directors in a timely manner of your
absence is also unexcused.
Unexcused absences from rehearsals or
performances will:
•
Negatively affect the performance goals of the
entire Band
• Negatively affect your grade in Band
• Restrict your opportunity to earn a Varsity
Letter in Band
• Will result in meeting with you and your
parents and with the Band Directors to discuss
your continued participation in Band
• May lead to the loss of Band membership
Student jobs/work conflicts, are absolutely no
excuse for missing a rehearsal or performance.
Use
your RHS Planner to stay organized in managing
your schedule & time!
Read
and share the Band calendar information with
your parents, employer, coaches, etc. and check
for possible conflicts. In the event of a
schedule conflict, COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY!
Talk to your Band Directors, we support YOU!
Every attempt will be made to be fair and
understanding in the event of unusual
circumstances. However, please remember that we
and your peers in Band expect you to honor your
commitment to attend all rehearsals and
performances as part of your basic band
membership! Be organized and manage your
calendar well! Make a habit of writing down all
of your events/appointments/commitments well in
advance and examining this calendar frequently!
You live a busy life - manage your time and
commitments carefully! Share this information
with your parents!
