Tickets

We are working on this policy at this time.

Music

• All parts are to be signed out on the sheet provided and returned immediately after each concert.
• If you are absent from a rehearsal, your parts must be available.
• If your music is not returned immediately after the concert you will be charged full purchase price for all parts.
• If you must ship your music back to the librarian, we urge you to pay for a shipping service that includes a tracking number. This way, you can verify your music has been received. Yes, we have had problems with first class mail.

Bad Weather

• Rehearsals will be held whenever possible. If we must cancel a rehearsal, or if our rehearsal space is closing, we will send out an email to all members on our mailing list and initiate phone calls through our assigned phone tree.

  If you are unsure about rehearsal status, you can call Joel, either personnel manager, or the librarian for a report.

• If you must miss a rehearsal due to weather, please notify the music director or the appropriate personnel manager immediately and make sure your music is available if needed.
