Special Afternoon Rehearsals: TBA

 

Rehearsal Times:  Monday & Wednesday 11:15 to 12:10 (and sectionals TBA.)  All rehearsals will begin promptly.

 

Attendance:  Just don't miss rehearsal.  In a group this small, it is very difficult to have an effective rehearsal without everybody present.  If you know that you are going to have to miss for a school related event (tour, etc.) please let me know well in advance.  If you are ill, please notify me as soon as possible.  Absences will only be excused with a note from the health center or your doctor.  Absences lower your grade as follows: 3 absences lower your grade 1 letter; 6 absences lower your grade 2 letters; 9 absences lower your grade 3 letters; etc.

 

Expectations:  You will be given specific assignments concerning your parts.  It is very important that you meet or exceed the requirements of these assignments.  You and your colleagues will not benefit fully from the ensemble if everyone does not come to rehearsal prepared.  Also, you will be expected to act professionally at all times during the rehearsal.  Be attentive when others are being addressed.  Be quiet, and be interested.  Always have a pencil!

 

Use and Care of the Music:  Proper use and care of the music is expected.  Keep your music in a folder, mark it with pencil only, and return it in the same condition that you received it.  Music should be left on your stand at the end of the concert. Failure to return your music may result in legal action by the college.

 

Concert Dress:  Proper concert dress is required of all members of the ensemble at all concerts.

Men:  Dark Suit and tie.

Women:  Dress Clothes--if there is any question, please see me.

 

Grades will be assigned based on: your daily preparation, attendance, and your concert performance.  It goes without saying that attendance is very important in this class!  You will receive a daily grade for every rehearsal.


Attendance & Daily Preparation                     40%

Concert Performance                                       60%

 

Good luck this year and let's enjoy every moment that we have to make music together!
