Please note that performances count toward class dates. For late or declined payments – after the 7th of each month a $15 late fee will be automatically applied to student accounts.
Should a student take a break for a month or to discontinue, that spot will be offered to new incoming students and will not receive a credit for any portion of unused tuition already paid. STUDENTS WHO DISCONTINUE WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN PERFORMANCES AFTER THE LAST CLASS THAT COVERS THEIR TUITION

Students are expected to be present for all performances unless permission to miss a performance is granted in writing, via email. Skipping a performance without clearing it at least a month ahead of time when possible could lead to being removed from the band. Students are not permitted to take a leave of absence in the event of participation in programs such as marching band or sports.
Students participating in other activities are permitted to miss two rehearsals and one performance per school year due to other activities. Students who are involved with music at another music school may not miss a performance with their Valencia School of Music Rock-U band to participate in an other performance. If students perform with another group instead of their band they will be removed from the program. Students who are not available for more than two shows over the year for any reason other than medical leave or illness will be replaced in their group. Those who must take leave due to illness will be temporarily replaced with a student or teacher substitute while they are out.
Students may ask teachers or another student in a different band to cover their part for a missed show. Once a student cancels for a performance and a replacement is confirmed, they will not be permitted to perform at that show, even if they become available.
Community performance opportunities may arise throughout the year. We will notify families via Google Calendar events. Students should respond directly to the event. Any students who do not respond within 48 hours will be marked as not available. Any student unavailable for more than two shows per year may be removed and replaced in the group.
Classes will start on time. If a student is running late they should come into the class when they arrive. Class attendance is mandatory for the bands, and students may not miss more than four rehearsals per school year.
Students may miss up to six classes per school year. Students who miss two classes in a row must receive pre-approval or a doctors note.
