Students will maintain their instrument(s) in proper playing condition.
Students will individually practice their parts to guarantee a productive
rehearsal.
Students will familiarize themselves with the proper terminology necessary
to communicate musical ideas.
Students will attend all rehearsals.
Students will learn to listen to one another and rehearse musically and cooperatively.
Students will conduct themselves professionally on stage during concerts.
Concert dress:
Men: Black tuxedo, white shirt, black bow tie, black socks and shoes.
(No black jeans!)
Women: Floor-length black dress or slacks, long-sleeved black top,
black shoes, black stockings (backless gowns, mini-skirts or tights are absolutely
unacceptable).
Men and Women: Tasteful jewelry to complement the outfit a plus! Noisy

Course Grading and Evaluation:
Every student will be evaluated at every rehearsal. Attendance to all rehearsals
