All members are expected to attend every engagement in which the band participates, and are not dismissed from the performance until the band does the formal dismissal.  If you are unable to attend a performance or rehearsal, you must inform the Director in advance through this web form. Sickness, with a doctor’s note, or death in the immediate family are the only legitimate excuses for missing a performance and rehearsal. Parents are responsible for written notice concerning absences from rehearsals and performances.  Each rehearsal and performance is a grade for the student.  Remember the only excused absences are:

1.  Death in immediate family
2.  Doctor's Excuse (with note)
3.  Illness
4.  Family leave approved by school administrator.  

*Remember missing any rehearsal, excused or unexcused will result in not being able to perform at halftime with the band.  You will be required to participate in all other activities with the 'Million Dollar Band"

Family Leave forms are available in the front office, and must be completed according to Bay District School Policies.  You will have to fill out this form to ensure that Mr. E will know that you will be absent.    


This form must be filled out by the date of the absence.  If form is not filled out by the date of absence, absence will be automatically unexcused.  

A Student may not have more than 3 unexcused absences a year.
