Attendance Policy
Players are required to attend the concert(s) and dress rehearsal, and may miss no more than 2 regular rehearsals (for longer cycles) or 1 regular rehearsal (for shorter cycles). No explanation is needed for missed rehearsals, but if you know about them in advance, please let the director know so he can plan around your absence. If an additional rehearsal is missed, the director will talk with you to determine if you should continue playing the cycle or not. Gold stars go to players who don’t miss any!
Practicing Policy
Players are expected to come to rehearsals with their parts prepared. For some, this will require little or no practice. For others, this will require significant individual practice outside of rehearsal. This isn’t said to scare anyone out of joining the brass ensemble. It just means you have to know yourself, your skill-level, and your time availability, and decide if this group is right for you. We want everyone to join who has a sincere desire to make excellent music!
Dress Code
Our dress code for concerts is professional black with a solid-color neck tie (guys) or solid-color scarf (girls). Try to pick a color that is bright/neon & pops out from the black. The effect of various bright colors over a black backdrop is very cool!
