I agree to the following attendance policy for marching band:
PLEASE NOTE: We will do our best to work with summer conflicts. Make every effort to be in attendance for Band Camp.
- Rehearsals are after school on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. In addition, we have several Friday night football game performances, Saturday rehearsal camps, Saturday competitions and occasional Monday practices. Attendance is required at each event.
- Students must contact a band director (not a band parent, band staff member, or other band member) in the event of an emergency absence.
- Only emergency absences will be excused. If a student is well enough to attend school, the student is expected to be at rehearsal after school. Missing rehearsal due to clubs, work, appointments, etc. will be considered unexcused. Please check the calendar carefully and plan appointments and other events around rehearsal dates/times.
- Students who miss more than three rehearsals without approval will be removed from the marching band without refund of fee.
- Students who miss a Thursday rehearsal will not march at halftime on the following Friday night.
- Students who miss a competition date without prior approval from the band director will forfeit their spot in the ensemble and will not receive a refund.
- Three tardies will count as one absence. Please be on the field and ready to go at the start of rehearsal.
By selecting yes, I acknowledge this policy has been read and understood by both student participant and parent/guardian.
