ROTHWELL ENSEMBLES
ENSEMBLES @ GRACE ACADEMY
TEAM GUIDELINES/REQUIREMENTS
1. Regular attendance at both rehearsals and performances is essential. Teams cannot operate successfully if each week there are members away. Grace Academy have a 3 strikes rule. Missing 3 rehearsals without explanation will cause your position in the ensemble to be reviewed. Late arrivals to rehearsals may be considered in the same manner. Any absences should be followed up by a note/email from a parent/guardian.
2. All members of our Grace Academy Instrumental and Vocal ensembles are required to purchase relevant uniforms preparation for excursions and photo day throughout the later part of the year. These items are outlined in the Grace Academy Uniform Requirements.
3. Behaviour – students must offer instructors the same respect and consideration given to all staff at Grace. Students are expected to respect others and work towards developing a non-judgemental and supportive team atmosphere. Instructors will refer any disciplinary issues to the Director of Grace Academy
4. Performance expectation – While we value the process of learning to play and instrument or sing, we believe that skills are consolidated through performance. Our aim is to provide students with a number of performance opportunities each year. We ask that as dates become available you place them in your family calendar and unavoidable absences communicated as early as possible. Team performance is an exhilarating experience that builds student confidence and self-esteem.
5. Cost - No cost for ensemble participation; the teachers and instructors costs are covered by the College. However, there may be a nominal charge for performances such as competitions.
