The required class attendance for each student is based upon desired physiological conditioning for his/her level. It is the minimum number of classes required to maintain current technique and progress at the expected level of improvement. Since proper warm-up is imperative to prevent injury in any strenuous activity, anyone arriving ten (10) minutes late to class will not be permitted to take class that day, but asked to observe. In case of absence, classes may be made up by arrangement with the faculty. Classes must be made up within the semester in which they are missed. Any more than two (2) unexcused absences not made up during the year disqualifies the student for the Spring Concert. This rule ensures the hardworking student receives proper recognition and all students receive the same amount of instruction.
