Course Materials

As a member of this performing ensemble you must always have your music, a pencil and neccesary materials for instrument maintenance. Failure to have these items will affect your final grade.

Attendance

The SWT Tuba-Euphonium is a performing ensemble, therefore, there will be NO EXCUSED ABSENCES. For this course you are allowed a maximum of three (3) absences. If you have more than three (3) absences, your grade will be lowered by one letter grade for each absence above three (3). Please be on time to class as two (2) tardies will equal one (1) absence. Area Recitals are also included in the attendance policy. You must be present at all area recitals regardless of whether you are performing or not.
