School of Rock San Diego Season Show Attendance Policy
If a student misses:
1 rehearsal - It's ok.
2 rehearsals - It's annoying, but totally acceptable.
3 rehearsals - They are pushing their luck, but no one's in trouble yet.
4 rehearsals - The show director will reassign 1 or 2 of the student's songs to someone more prepared to complete them in time for the show.
5 rehearsals - The student will be asked to step down from their responsibilities in the season show for the remainder of the season.
Think of these consequences not as punishments for an individual, but rather as protection for the entire group. Each rehearsal missed is a loss of hours of rehearsal time. It's hard enough to finish these complicated songs in 12-14 weeks, but if a show is plagued with absences, there is little anyone can do to make up for the lost time. We never want to enforce these consequences, but we will if we have to.
House Band Attendance Policy
Our band will only be as good as our weakest link. This means we can only offer this opportunity to students who are committed to their fellow band members. Our attendance policy is not only for the protection of the quality of the band's shows, but also serves as a reminder of the importance of a solid work ethic. We will enforce the policy by asking a student who has attendance issues to step down, although we hope we will never have to. Each student is expected to only miss one (1) show and two (2) rehearsals at maximum. If you cannot commit to this requirement, we understand, but perhaps this season isn't a good time for you to audition for House Band. We will require each band member to sign an agreement to confirm their devotion to their bandmates.
