Grade & Behavior Disqualification
As stated on page 14 of the Band Handbook, students who have a "D" or an "F" in any class or have received an ISS this quarter will not be able to perform on the concert. This policy applies to all sports and performing arts in Arlington and is meant to incentivize students to meet our high expectations on and off stage.
I have already talked to students who fall into these categories, and I expect that all of them will be able to raise their grades to at least a "C" by Friday, December 12th in order to perform. We need every student for the band to sound its best!
Students who are not participating because of their grades or behavior are still encouraged to attend the performance, and thus will satisfy their grade requirement for the performance. Students who do not attend will be given an alternative assignment to make up the grade.
