Attendance policy
1. Attendance at every rehearsal is desired both for learning your part and for the benefit of the total ensemble. However, we recognize unavoidable personal and professional conflicts will arise. Up to two rehearsals may be missed if necessary.
2. Attending the dress rehearsal is mandatory.
3. Notify the orchestra point of contact as soon as you know you will miss.
4. Participation in a performance if more than two rehearsals must be missed will be at the discretion of the director.
5. Try very hard to be on time for rehearsals, which means be in your chair by the top of the hour.
The current contact person for attendance is Vera Shinsky.
