CONCERT ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY!!!
MUST READ!
Concerts are one of the most rewarding experiences you will have in band. Performances are a culmination of what is learned in class, just like taking a test at the end of a unit. If for some reason an absence from a performance is unavoidable, the director should be notified as soon as possible. "I couldn't find a ride" or "I have soccer practice" are NOT acceptable reasons for missing a concert.
Please keep in mind that there will be a "concert time" and "Call time". The "Call Time" is when all students should be in their seats at the concert venue, ready to warm-up and tune prior to the start of the performance. All performance times and locations will be announced well in advance so that students and their families may plan accordingly.

PRE-CONCERT REHEARSALS
Our classes do not meet as a full band during the school day. ALL Students will be expected to attend 2-3 before OR after school Full Band Rehearsals in preparation for each concert (winter & spring). Mrs. Becknell will do her best to communicate with students about times & dates that work best for the majority.
