Dress Rehearsal/Concert Attendance:

Each of our students play a vital role in our concerts, and our concerts are the pinnacle of their progress to showcase to family and friends. Concerts are required for all students to attend, unless otherwise formally excused by the band director. Excusable absences to either the dress rehearsal or concert include family emergencies, family/student illness, and/or vacations. Communication is key should any conflict should arise.
