FVSO Youth Orchestras Absence Form
If you find it necessary to miss part of a rehearsal, the conductors request that you attend part of the rehearsal if you are able. It is always better to attend some of a rehearsal than none.
Attendance at dress rehearsals prior to all concerts is mandatory. Members of either orchestra who miss a dress rehearsal may not perform in the corresponding concert.
MEMBERS WHO HAVE MORE THAN TWO (2) ABSENCES:
- Perform concerts only with the conductor’s permission
- May be required to demonstrate their knowledge of the music
Where conflicts between school music performances and weekly Youth Orchestras rehearsals occur, school performances take precedence. Rehearsal conflicts should be avoided if at all possible.
Please let us know in advance! Immediate excused absences from rehearsals are only for illness and family emergencies !
