PARTICIPATION BY ALL MEMBERS IS MANDATORY FOR ALL CONCERTS, dress rehearsals and the last two rehearsals of each semester. If you miss any of these you WILL NOT be allowed to play the concert.

Any member missing the last two rehearsals prior to each semester concert or any part thereof, unless for a doctor’s excused illness or extreme emergency, WILL NOT be allowed to participate in the concert and possibly forfeit future membership. This will be determined by the conductor.

All absences need to be submitted online (at the For Members page) at least one week prior to the absence. 

Personal illness and/or family emergency – absence must be submitted online prior to rehearsal (if possible).

If you are unable to play your instrument for any reason, you are still expected to come to rehearsal, take notes and stay “in tune” with what’s going on in your section.
