EXPECTATIONS: Regular attendance and focused participation in the weekly lessons is the most important aspect of the Missoula All-City Jazz Program (MACJP) experience. Absences must be reported to the MACJP Director or Administrator prior to rehearsal. Excused absences must be emailed to allcityjazzmissoula@gmail.com two weeks prior to the missed rehearsal.

In order to be a part of the Missoula All-City Jazz Program, the student agrees to model the following behaviors both in the All-City Jazz and his/her school jazz program:

-Willingness to work with the instructor and other students and have a positive attitude
-Active and focused participation in the group experience
-Prepared: All students will come to lessons prepared to play – with your instrument and everything you need for full participation in the lesson.
-On Time: Any student who is 10 minutes late for a lesson will be marked absent for that lesson.
-Attendance at all lessons and concerts is critical to the success of the individual student as well as the other students. If a student misses two lessons, the student will not be allowed to perform in the next concert. Refunds are not given for missed rehearsals.
