Common use of Practice Attendance Clause in Contracts

Practice Attendance. Marching band is very similar to athletics. A band functions as a single unit and not a group of individuals. What we do, we do together. Band practices are diminished by even a single absence. Therefore, you are required to be at all band practices (including drumline, majorette, flag corps, or drum major practices if selected to be a part of these sections). It is the student’s responsibility to notify the director of an absence in advance with a note, email, or phone call from the parent or guardian. In the event of an emergency the student must submit a parent note, email, or phone call upon returning. If a student is late to practice, they will be required to make that missed practice time up at the discretion of the director. If a student continuously shows up late for practices, the director could have the student not participate in a performance which would result in an unexcused absence.
