Rehearsal Attendance
With that being said, we understand that there will be times when students must be absent - either due to illness, family emergencies, trip, conflicts, or other valid reasons. In the case of a student absence, please do the following:
- Parent/Guardian should communicate with Mr. Root as soon as you know that a conflict exists. Communicating directly with Mr. Root allows him to adjust rehearsal plans accordingly. Absences that are not emergencies should be communicated to Mr. Root at least 24 hours before the event.
- Do not assume that Mr. Root (or anyone else) is aware of your personal schedule - that includes athletic participation, jobs, or anything else.
- Refer to the MHS Band Handbook for more information regarding student absences. That can be found HERE (attendance policies are discussed in sections 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6)
Regarding conflicts with athletics, the following rule of thumb will be applied in order for students not to be put in the middle:
- Athletic contests (games, matches, etc.) will take priority over music rehearsals
- Music performances will take priority over practices
- If the conflict is between rehearsal/practice or performance/contest, the teacher and coach must be notified well in advance to work out a solution
