Band Missed Performance Make-Up Assignments
| Missed Performance Notification Form.pdf |
Band is a performing art. Each performing group spends many hours of group rehearsal and each student practices on their own. The performance not only acts as the summative assessment of all of that work and learning, the act of performing is itself an integral part of the learning process in a performing arts class. The unique circumstance of performing in a concert, parade, or field show is an activity that is impossible to recreate. Because successful band performances take many weeks to prepare and each member of the ensemble is so very reliant on those around them, performance at concerts is not simply a matter of an individual student’s grade, it is a matter of respect to those around you and to the ensemble as a whole. It is upon these principles that our performance policy is based.
Students must submit this missed performance form to me, no later than TWO WEEKS prior to the performance. A student who submits a Missed Performance form on time will be required to submit a written make-up that will be due within one week of the missed performance. If a student misses more than one performance, but still hands in an Excused Absence Form on time, the make-up assignments will be performance based.
An UNEXCUSED ABSENCE occurs when a student does not submit a form within two weeks of a performance. Students will be required to do a performance make-up at an assigned time. The student’s performance grade will also be lowered ½ grade (A becomes A- . . . . A- becomes B+)
Students who do not make up an Excused OR Unexcused absence will receive a zero for that performance, which will lower that students’ grade substantially.
