- Students must come to arts classes fully prepared and with all necessary supplies and equipment.
- Grades are based in part on respect for others, promptness of arrival for warm-ups, tuning, etc., as well as preparation with proper equipment, supplies and proper concert attire.
- Respect for fellow students, supplies, equipment, and instructor(s) is expected.
- Disruptive play and unnecessary talking during rehearsals/classes is not acceptable.
- 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 performances for their ensembles.
- Concerts, competitions and performances 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 (see “Alternate Assignment” Section M) are required for performances missed due to accepted personal reasons. Concert attire is all black for Logic and Rhetoric.
- 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. Similarly, a portfolio must be submitted and accepted by the visual art instructor to be admitted into the visual art offering.
