  2. Handbook overview • Eligibility • All classes must be passed (70) in order to participate in extra-curricular activities • Concerts are considered curricular and not subject to eligibility requirements • Attendance • An unexcused absence from a rehearsal or performance will result in a grade deduction. Excuses are only accepted in the event of absence from school or family emergency. Not having a ride is not an acceptable excuse for missing a rehearsal/performance. Schedules are given far enough in advance for arrangements to be made. • School Owned Instruments • If, in the opinion of a CCISD director, a school-owned instrument is not being properly maintained or cared for at anytime of the school year, it is the director’s prerogative to remove the instrument from the student’s care. • Concert Etiquette • 1. Remove all hats upon entering the performance hall. • 2. No food or drink is permitted at any time. • 3. Turn off all cell phones, pagers, and watch alarms. • 4. Audience members are asked to remain quiet during the performance. Remember that the acoustics that allow you to enjoy the performance also enhance extraneous noise in the theatre. • 5. Recordings are made of most performances, so if bringing small children, please sit near an exit or on the aisle in case you have to leave suddenly. • 6. Remain seated. Do not leave or enter the auditorium while a group is performing. If you absolutely must leave before a group is finished, please wait and do so only between selections. • 7. Applaud the performers on stage after a selection but not between movements of a song. In a formal concert setting, whistling and shouting are inappropriate
