INFORMATION FOR ORCHESTRA STUDENTS
Students are expected to arrive no later than 4:30 PM on the evening of the event, except for volunteers, who will arrive based on the time slots they signed up.

Concert Attendance
A concert is the culmination of many hours of practice and rehearsal, and it is the final reward for all our hard work. Orchestra is a group activity where all members depend on each other, and everyone is important! Attendance at all performances is not only essential but also part of the student’s grade. A performance absence will not be excused without prior notification except for illness or emergency. Finally, students are expected to stay for the entire event to support their peers and celebrate their performance.
Thank you for your help in making our concert both successful and enjoyable!
