Notify the Rehearsal Aide for your division BEFORE your scheduled rehearsal time. An Absence Form is NOT necessary for this type of absence. Without prior notification, it will be marked as an unexcused absence. To erase this unexcused absence, you need to bring a note from a parent explaining your absence.
Ask your Rehearsal Aide for an Absence Form. Fill it out completely and return it to your Rehearsal Aide TWO WEEKS before your anticipated absence. This form will be given to your Conductor to review. The form will be returned to your Rehearsal Aide and it will be indicated whether the absence is considered “excused” or “unexcused”. Your Rehearsal Aide will keep a copy and you will be given a copy.
