3. Grading Reminders
As a reminder, students earn grades for attending both the concert and dress rehearsal. These grades are worth 40% of the student's overall grade. Attendance is MANDATORY for all students and notice of a predetermined absence must be given directly to me at least 24 hours in advance. Please note that giving notice doesn't automatically mean that the absence will be excused. Additionally, students need to be on time and in full concert attire in order to receive full credit for each grade. Students who are not in full concert attire will automatically receive a '75' for their concert grade and students who are late to either the dress rehearsal or concert will receive an '80' for their dress rehearsal/concert grade.

4. Concert Attire
Students must be in full concert attire at the concert. For men, this includes the black tuxedo jacket, black tuxedo pants, white tuxedo shirt, bow tie, cummerbund, black dress shoes, and black socks. For women, this includes black concert dress and black closed toe dress shoes. Since this concert will feature music for the holiday season, students may wear festive accessories with their concert attire.
