ATTENDANCE POLICY
1. Be there
2. You are not majoring in choir (however, no team succeeds when only part shows up for practice)
3. All absences are excused
4. You get three absences per semester
5. After three absences, YOU make an appointment to see the conductor
6. Don't miss a rehearsal the week of a performance (in other words,
the conductor reserves the right to determine who will perform, and who
will not...)
