As Alias is a competitive performance ensemble, we wish to be clear that attendance and 100% given effort is expected of every individual who participates.
Performers have a responsibility to themselves and the other members of their ensemble. As members of a team, we rely on each other, and only if ALL members are present at ALL rehearsals and performances can we achieve our highest potential.
Homework is not an excuse to miss rehearsal—be responsible, manage your time wisely and get your work done.
If you are ill, we encourage you to come to rehearsal and sit on the side line with your blanket and pillow, that way you are aware of changes or new work that is added to the show. Obviously, if you have a high fever or are extremely ill, do not come to practice; rest up.
If scheduling conflicts cannot be avoided, you must let Denise know ahead of time, as soon as possible. If you miss any rehearsal, it is your responsibility to ask a fellow student what you missed and get caught up.
Please, be responsible! Remember that each member of this unit is responsible for their performance, and if they do not take responsibility for it, it hurts all of us.
