Attendance & Evaluation Group
activities such as our Georgetown College Tiger Bands require a great deal
of commitment on the part of ALL participating Scholars.
It is impossible to hold efficient and effective rehearsals if all
Band Scholars are not present. The balance, blend and overall sound
characteristics of each ensemble are dependent upon the active
participation and presence of each Band Scholar. We
do know, however, that our very specific and highly refined recruiting
effort insures that each Band Scholar is an extraordinarily bright,
talented young adult who very likely will be involved in a plethora of
other academic pursuits, personal activities and leadership roles. This
further insures that there will be some conflicts [i.e. labs, meetings,
classes, etc.]. I try diligently to protect your "time" -
in return, I ask that you are responsible with your obligations towards
and for our Tiger Bands. To
this end, attendance IS NOT taken daily, we try to treat you like
the young professionals and maturing adults which you are. You are simply
EXPECTED TO BE PRESENT IN A TIMELY FASHION for all rehearsals. You are
EXPECTED TO BE AT ALL PRIMARY PERFORMANCES and other venues which are
declared MAIN EVENTS. If there is a perceived problem, the
following will swiftly happen: 1.
immediate expulsion from our Tiger Bands
In the case of an ongoing academic conflict [i.e. lab every Wednesday at
4:00 PM], please make sure that this is cleared in advance. When a meeting
or other potential conflict arises, let the Director's
Assistant know in advance. When this is not possible, please make use of that
charming invention of A. G. Bell. The only problem you will ever have with
us regarding attendance, is when we [our Band Leadership Team/Staff
and/or Dr. Pete] simply do not know where you are.
Obviously
every allowance possible will be made in case of personal/family
emergencies or unusual or unexpected academic obligations.
If you are ill, or another personal emergency arises, please let us
know. *note* Every
Band Scholar is expected to get an "A" for MUS105. If not, this
would be indicative of some serious problem which would be addressed in a
more profound fashion. Band Scholars are expected to: a.
be at all rehearsals & performances b.
contribute positively to the overall musical achievement of each ensemble c.
display and be strong exemplars of the "Five-Fold Band Tenets"
at all times d.
have good "attitudes" in rehearsal, performance and travel
settings e.
be good "Campus Citizens" f.
always remain true to the historic spirit, mission and intent of our Tiger
Bands and Georgetown College Again
if there is a perceived problem in any of these areas, the following will
swiftly occur: 1.
immediate expulsion from our Tiger Bands
