REHEARSAL SCHEDULE

 

Most groups meet in-school.  These are very important.

Some groups meet after-school and evenings.  All rehearsals are very important.

 

             You need to cooperate with the instructors in all groups throughout the rehearsal schedules.  It is expected that if you are involved with work that you will let your Employer know these dates in order to be at rehearsals.  If you are involved in a sport, you need to work out some time with us and your coach.  It should be a 50/50 situation.  We need to be clear on this.  We have responsibilities to the entire group, and it is impossible to rehearse, and work on interpretation without everyone present.   If you can not work out the schedule then you should consider not being a part of the Virginia Beach Trip.
