MPA After School Rehearsals – Other School Activities Conflict
 
Dear Parents & Students,
As you know, we are currently preparing for State Music Performance Assessment.  We are to the point now in our calendar when we begin to hold after school rehearsals with both ensembles and their percussion.  These specific dates can be found on our blog at: http://www.shs-band.com/blog/state-mpa-rehearsal-schedule-2017  
 
*We have several students who are involved in other school activities & we love that!  We encourage our students to participate in everything our school has to offer.  This can however cause stress sometimes when conflicts arise.  Don’t worry though!  We have a wonderful working relationship with our athletic coaches.  We are all here for the kids!
 
Our policy for conflicts is this: 

1. Please notify the band office & your coach about any conflicts
2. We ask that members with other commitments SPLIT TIME between band & their other activities
3. A game/match or concert should always trump a practice or rehearsal.
4. If in doubt, email us.  We’ll talk to the coach/instructor and find a solution
5. DON’T STRESS……Communicate
