Class, Concert, and Art Show Expectations

  • Students must come to arts classes fully prepared and with all necessary supplies and equipment.
  • Proper concert etiquette is expected from performers. Performers should not talk or move about during the performance, only during applause. All performers are expected to assist with set-up and strike for concerts and events.
  • Encouragement to fellow performers is expected.
  • Students make every effort to attend any extra rehearsals associated with their chosen Fine Art. Parents and students should schedule necessary appointments at times that do not conflict with rehearsals and performances.
  • All Fine Arts students are expected to be at all performances and art shows for their ensembles and classes.
  • Concerts, competitions, performances and art shows listed on the calendar at the start of each semester are considered a test grade. These are the culmination of many days of practice, and it is extremely important that all members are present to have a complete performance. Make up assignments are required for performances missed due to accepted personal reasons.
  • Concert attire is all black for Logic and Rhetoric students.  Art students should wear either their dress uniform or all black for art shows. Students need to provide their own black concert dress shoes. Shoes need to be completely black, with no other colors. Boys need to wear black dress socks and a black belt.
  • When dropping/adding a fine art, students must first speak with the instructors involved, and the change must be approved by the fine arts director. For any transfer to take place in the performing arts, lessons with the new instrument (including voice) will be required, and proficiency—as determined by the instructor—must be demonstrated by the student. Fine Arts transfer requests will only be accommodated during the first two weeks of instruction or upon approval of the fine arts director.
