Daily+Participation,+Daily+Attendance+and+Concert+Attendance

Each student’s grade will be determined by the total amount of accumulated points at the end of each nine-week period. The grading scale is as follows: **90% - 100% = A** The quarter grade also includes concert and rehearsal attendance, daily attendance and participation, concert dress, and a quarterly peer review. The semester grade will include a final exam which will count for a total of 10% if the semester grade. The semester jury will count as 5% of the semester grade and the semester written exam will count as 5% semester grade. The remaining 90% will be the average of the two quarter grades making up the semester. Because of the nature of this activity, personal attendance, attitude and participation in daily rehearsals affect the product of the entire ensemble. For this reason, great importance is placed on this area. Please keep this in mind when contemplating tardiness, absences and behavior in class.
