#8.  Please be reminded that NO practice/performance is considered optional.  It is not appropriate to miss any rehearsal.  The allowed excused absences are listed in the handbook.  In the event that you cannot attend a rehearsal /performance it is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILTY to inform Mr. Gulledge, Mrs. Loftis or Mr. Hall.  Students who have unexcused absences face the following consequences: grade reduction, detention, and even removal from the program.  We have no “bench” to pull from.  If you are absent the entire group suffers!
