Attendance
at all rehearsals and the performance is required for participation in this
orchestra, therefore, a commitment from you and your parents is of great
importance. Tardiness
to rehearsals will jeopardize your seating. Students
who arrive late will not be permitted to audition.
EXCEPTION:
Any senior who will be taking their SAT will be excused from rehearsal and are
expected to return to rehearsal once they have completed the test.
The
concert is free and the public is cordially invited to attend.
Time
will be allowed for parents to take pictures prior to the performance, and
Design Recording will be selling CDs and audiotapes of the entire concert.
Vendors will be available for the purchase of various items, including strings.
The
All-County Orchestra can be a very rewarding experience.
We
are looking forward to working with you!
