Attendance Policy
Students are strongly encouraged to attend all classes. Those missing more than 25% of classes or rehearsals may be removed from a performance or risk having their role performed by an understudy. This decision is up to the instructor.

Performance is a group activity. Everyone should be equally prepared in order to produce the best performance possible. Therefore, students performing in recital and other performances MUST attend all rehearsals. Failure to attend rehearsals will result in being removed from the upcoming performance.
