I can’t be to our performance. What should I do?
How important is class attendance?
Each day you are in class on time, prepared, and participate you will receive points. When tardy you will lose participation points. If unfortunate circumstances come your way and you are unable to play in rehearsal, you will need to bring a note from your parent/guardian. If the problem persists a note from your family physician may be necessary.
Being prepared includes: Having your instrument, music, paper, and pencil in class every day. You will be expected to pass off or hand in assignments when they are due.

What is ‘concert black’?
Concert black is the designated attire for our performance ensembles, designed to present a cohesive and professional appearance on stage. This dress code includes a black shirt, black pants or skirt, black socks or tights, and black closed-toe dress shoes. The clothing should be formal and dressy, avoiding casual options like t-shirts and jeans. Male performers have the option to choose their own tie color, adding a personal touch to the ensemble. Concert black is the standard attire for all performance ensembles, with the exception of X-Press.

How do I make up points for missing a class period?
Check Canvas for what you missed in class. Submit the assignment posted there. If there isn’t an assignment posted within 24 hours of your absence, you can do the following: practice a minimum of 40 minutes on the current concert music. Before you practice be sure to write down your practice goal. At the completion of your practice, write a summary of how you achieved your goal. Message that summary to Mrs. Terry in Canvas. If you have a community performance you would like to report instead, be sure to talk to Mrs. Terry about that.
