trombones, and symphonic french horns)

Be on time for all rehearsals. Tardiness

appealed and excused by the steering committee. A second tardy will result in
the student being moved to the bottom of the section. There are no exceptions
for a student missing a rehearsal entirely (unless excused by the steering committee).
Students are to wear their school concert uniforms for the All- District performance.
