Attendance policy and Orchestra Etiquette
Musicians must attend all rehearsals, sectionals,
coaching sessions for which they are called. Failure to attend rehearsals
may disqualify a player from participating in the upcoming concert. Repeated
absence may be cause for dismissal from the orchestra.
Musicians
may be excused from rehearsals for illness, family emergencies, school functions,
etc. Please contact either the Music Director or Board President if you will be absent or late. If possible, please
give a 24-hours notice.
Musicians are required to be prompt, and must be warmed up and tuned by the first downbeat.
Early is on time and on time is late!
Musicians are also responsible for being prepared and must have all the required
materials for an efficient rehearsal.
These materials may include, but are not limited to:
- Music in folder
- A pencil, sharpened, for bowings or other directions
- Mutes, sticks, valve oil, extra bows, strings, or other instrument-specific accessories
Musicians are expected to practice their orchestra music on their own or with their private teacher.
Failure to progress musically may result in dismissal from the orchestra.
In addition to being prompt and prepared, players are expected to conduct and present themselves
in a respectful manner during ALL orchestra functions.
Dress Code for Concerts
Unless otherwise directed Ladies: Black skirts (ankle length, no slits)
or pants with long-sleeved white blouses or a black dress, black shoes, socks or stockings.
Gentlemen: Black pants with long-sleeved white shirt, black shoes and socks.

Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Policy
Use of illegal or controlled substances, regardless of age, is not tolerated.
Appearing for an orchestra function while under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs
is cause for immediate dismissal from the orchestra. Orchestra functions held on
school grounds are also governed by school site policies. This includes strict enforcement
