Practice Log Make-Opportunity!
Was it #4 or #5?
If so, follow the normal procedure for making up a missed log (pull all minutes on the next Log (PL #6 is due before midnight this Friday night) as one total so I know to roll them back).
Was it #1, #2, or #3?
If so, you have a one-time opportunity to make up ONE (1) missed log (which will end up effecting your grade by as much as 3 points at the end of the semester)!! Here's what you do:
- Show up ON TIME to the Spring Concert that you're NOT playing in (Black and Gold, Concert, and Symphonic: come to the concert on May 17; Philharmonic and Chamber: come to the concert on May 18).
- Get a concert program from the ushers.
- Write your thoughts/reflections/observations on the program as you listen.
- Turn in your program to Mrs. Betts with your thoughts THE NEXT SCHOOL DAY (Philharmonic and Chamber Orchestras: you can leave it with me before you go home from the banquet on 5/17 OR you can bring it to me before finals begin on Monday, May 21)
- I will evaluate the content on your program and will assign it a grade (so write several thoughtful remarks for each performing group). If you write short, unclear bullet points, you won't get much credit (remember, this is making up for an assignment that should have take your 4 hours to complete.... so not putting effort into the make up will DEFINITELY not earn you full credit).
