Attendance Policy (As per the SFYSA Handbook)
Attendance Requirements
SFYSA members commit to participating in all rehearsals, dress rehearsals, and concerts for the entire season.
Your attendance commitment is not to your conductor or teacher, but to your fellow colleagues. We also
recognize that unusual circumstances may prevent a student from attending a rehearsal.
• Any student may miss a maximum of two (2) rehearsals per semester for any reason; however, students are expected to notify their conductor no later than the day before the missed rehearsal
◦ The above provision does not apply to dress rehearsals (see “Dress Rehearsals” below)
• Any student who misses more than two (2) rehearsals in a semester may be subject to
a playing test or dismissal
• Students who attend rehearsal without their music and/or instrument will be marked “Absent”
• Two (2) late-arrivals are equal to one absence; a late-arrival means the student is not in their seat at the start
of rehearsal time
• Emergencies will be addressed on a case-by-case basis
• SFYSA does not have an “Excused or Unexcused Absence” Attendance Policy
