WE DO NOT PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH PERFORMANCES WE WILL ATTEND

You must attend your scheduled morning rehearsals.  A grade will be published reflecting your attendance.

Dates for “out of school performances” are published in the Music Blog at the beginning of the School Year. Please mark your calendars and let your bosses know in advance.

4.    Class:

 If you are in a rostered class, you will have theory assignments to further your musical reading skills

If you are in a performance group only, you will be “rostered” into a music class that will keep track of your lesson progress and attendance

     6.  All Catholic Organizations:  School pays these fees for you. If you do not participate in all of the All Catholic Performances for your Organization, the All Catholic Fee will be added to your Activities Fee.

We have several “inschool” performances throughout the year. Your participation is required.

I hope this helps you understand what is expected of you while you are in these organizations.
