MUSIC REHEARSAL EXPECTATIONS
We just wanted to clarify our expectations on rehearsals:
- The time listed on the rehearsal schedule is the start time (bands take at least five minutes to set up before rehearsal to put out chairs, stands, music, and to get their instruments out). Please arrive at least five minutes before the published start time (listed below for your convenience).
- Rehearsals run every day unless communicated otherwise. This includes first days of term, college event days (carnivals, liturgies, special breakfasts). If your son has the Wednesday morning mass, he should attend rehearsal until 8am.
- If for any reason, your son is unable to attend, a courtesy email to the conductor or Joseph Montz is appreciated.
