WESTMINSTER BANDS AND ORCHESTRAS ATTENDANCE CONTRACT
I understand the course requirements stated in the grading policy. I also understand that attendance at the following performances is mandatory. There are extra orchestra rehearsals that are listed below and on the calendar. These events are considered major exams and make-up work will be assigned for missed performances and a grade reduction of one letter grade will be enforced for unexcused absences. Please note *Festival is a mandatory performance assessment for honors orchestra and wind ensemble.*
