ATTENDENCE POLICY:
To make sure that students get the most out of the scheduled rehearsal time, all Chestatee War Eagle Band rehearsals will start on time. With that being said, students should understand that arriving when rehearsal starts is not considered arriving on time to rehearsal. Students should give themselves ample time to arrive to school, get the necessary things for rehearsal, and travel time to the field (if applicable) so that they may be in place when rehearsal starts. The old saying of “arriving early is on time, and arriving on time is late,” is true in this setting. The following is the tardy policy for all marching band rehearsals:
If the student is not in the designated area by the start time of rehearsal the following formula will be enforced. For every 2 minutes that the student is tardy to rehearsal, 1 lap around the practice field will be given. If the student arrives on an odd number of minutes the laps will round down. However, a student will run 1 lap regardless of one or two minutes late period. If a student is late 30 minutes or more, that student will be counted absent from rehearsal. Frequent unexcused absences my result in removal from the marching band. This will be in detail in the attendance policy written in the Chestatee High School Band Code of Conduct.
