During the fall semester, we will begin rehearsals at 7:30 unless otherwise notified via Remind 101. Students who habitually arrive late may be removed from ensembles at the director’s discretion and Students will receive a failing grade for the ensemble. Students who are not in parade block at 7:30 will be counted tardy and must sign in to the check in board or they will be counted absent. If students arrive after 8:10, they must check into the office to receive an admit slip before they will be allowed in class. They will need to sign in and attach the admit slip to the sign in board.
