***BAND PARTICIPATION EXPECTATIONS (See Page 5, Band Handbook)
Each band student is important to the success of our many activities.  We must be able to count on 100% attendance at these performances.  If a family emergency occurs unexpectedly, PARENTS, please call the band office at 972-727-0400 ext. 7744.  Occasionally, there may be family commitments (weddings, graduations, etc.); in which case, we will try to be flexible and work with you on an individual basis.  This must be discussed in detail well in advance (a month or more!). Student job commitments are NOT reasons for an excused absence from band performances or rehearsals!  Many band students work and participate successfully in band.
We suggest that all working band students take a copy of the “Yearly Band Calendar” to his/her employer and clear all band performances and rehearsals.  Ninety-nine percent of employers are very understanding and are flexible if they know of band commitments well in advance, and they understand that band performances are a required and vital part of the course work.  Work with employers to clear the Monday night rehearsals from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. 		  
These extra rehearsals do not last all year. (We are glad to talk to employers to validate student commitment.)  If a student has an unexcused absence from a performance/required function, they are subject to immediate removal from the band.  Drill Team and Color Guard have similar policies
