    • Come to Lower Level 2 to sign in each evening and check for the rehearsal location for your group.

    • Please arrive before 6:30 so that you are seated, tuned and ready to play on time.

    • Parents are encouraged to observe rehearsals, assist with room set-ups, serving snacks, organizing sheet music, or other volunteer jobs during rehearsal time. (See a board member for more information on volunteering at NSYS)

    • We ask parents to please come in on the 1st rehearsal of each trimester to register your students and connect with other parents, board members, and conductors.

    • Parents/Guardians are invited and encouraged to attend the General Meetings of the Board and Members (Parents/Guardians) at the beginning of each trimester. As a volunteer organization we benefit from having as many parents involved as possible!

Attendance

    • In general it is expected that students attend all rehearsals. If sickness or emergency prevents you from attending, please contact NSYS or your conductor before the rehearsal to let them know you cannot attend.

    • A member with several absences or obvious lack of practice may be asked not to play in the next concert.

    • Members are asked to be seated, tuned and ready to play at 6:30pm so that rehearsals can get started on time! Plan to arrive at the PAC between 6:15-6:20 pm
