Concert Information
Part of your band mark is based on your attendance at all performances. Performing is a big part of music education and requires many skills that are different than practicing. Each band works as a team for months before each performance so it is very important that every member of the team is there to contribute to the performance. The concert dates are set well in advance so you are able to mark them on your calender and plan around them. If an emergency situation occurs and you are not able to attend the concert it is very important to let the director know in advance.
