The PERFORMANCE at the end of each semester is required by the Georgia Standards of Excellence and is part of the summative category of grades. This performance, in addition to the final portfolio, will be 40% of your final grade. Please see dates listed on the syllabus and make sure you are present for these performances. If you miss a concert (for any reason), you will have the opportunity to complete a performance make-up assignment. Do you understand that these are required performances? *
