4 Attendance Enrollment in ensembles is subject to placement. Degree-seeking students are required to participate in all ensembles to which they are assigned by the director and program heads, and are subject to ensemble assignment every semester of enrollment, even if they have fulfilled their curricular ensemble requirements. All students who participate in ensembles will receive a grade and must satisfy the same rehearsal, performance, and attendance requirements whether they are enrolled for 1 or 0 credit. Membership in a performing ensemble involves a responsibility to the other students in the group as well as to the instructor. It is expected that students will attend all rehearsals and performances. Please refer to the syllabi of your assigned ensembles for additional specifics regarding attendance policies. Policies for Excused Absences In exceptional cases, at the discretion of the ensemble directors, a student may be excused from a rehearsal but not a performance. Leave will be given greater consideration when requested as far in advance as possible (please refer to the syllabi of your assigned ensembles for specific deadlines). This does not apply to sudden illness, a death in the family, or other last-minute exigencies. Absences must be requested by completing a Syllabus Exception Form (SEF) and submitting it to a staff member in the Performance Activities Office (AUD 932). SEFs are found in a folder posted on the Ensemble Bulletin Board in the hallway directly across from AUD 928 and on The Music Conservatory website. After the request has been considered and a decision made, a copy of the form, designated excused or not excused, will be placed in the student s mail folder. Students missing a rehearsal due to illness or an emergency must submit the SEF form the first day upon returning to school, and will need to call or the Ensemble Operations Manager in the Performance Activities Office and the ensemble director the day of the illness as far in advance as possible BEFORE the rehearsal time if s/he cannot attend. Students with disabilities or other conditions that require special accommodations must identify themselves to the ensemble director and to the Academic Success Center/Office of Disability Services (Downtown Campus AUD 128/ ) as early as possible in order for any requests for accommodations to be considered. Students who fail to identify themselves as requiring special accommodations under the syllabus prior to entrance auditions and placement in the program may not be granted exceptions under the syllabus. Tardiness Skillful performance requires that students be warmed up and focused on the music well before the beginning of a rehearsal. All musicians are expected to be in their seats and ready to play at least five minutes before the scheduled starting time. Please refer to the syllabi of your assigned ensembles for additional specifics regarding tardy policies. Communication Please note that a great deal of communication will occur throughout the school year by , phone, and the Blackboard website. All official communication is to occur using Roosevelt University accounts. It is each student s responsibility to check and phone messages in a timely manner, respond accordingly, and maintain current and accurate contact information with the Performance Activities Office. 4

5 Concert Dress There are two concert dress standards for CCPA instrumental ensemble performances: Formal o Women: Black dress (with sleeves below the elbow) must be mid-calf or longer with a modest neckline. Black dress pants or skirts with black blouses are also acceptable. Black hose/socks and black dress shoes. No bare shoulders or midriffs. Simple jewelry is acceptable. No perfume. o Men: Black tuxedo with white tuxedo shirt, black bow tie, black socks, and black dress shoes. No cologne.

Ensemble Auditions and Assignments While ensemble participation is a requirement for all undergraduate and most graduate programs, enrollment in any ensemble is subject to placement and assignment. Ensemble auditions take place at the beginning of each academic year. Each summer, the Performance Activities Office s to all students the ensemble audition schedule and requirements for the upcoming academic year. All students, both new and returning, must audition for their ensemble placements. Some ensemble assignments extend throughout the entire year and some for a semester. In large ensembles, part assignments may rotate with each concert preparation period, up to several times per semester. Rehearsal schedules and part assignments are posted online through Blackboard (blackboard.roosevelt.edu) as well as on the Ensemble Bulletin Board, in the hallway directly across from AUD 928. It is each student s responsibility to check the bulletin board, and/or online for their individual assignments. Commencement and Convocation Assignments Any student who plays an orchestral instrument may be assigned to perform for Convocation as well as fall and spring Commencement ceremonies in the Auditorium Theatre. As a thank you, students will be given $50 for performing in each of these ceremonies. Commencement assignments will be posted at least four weeks before each service. Students who are graduating may request not to be assigned to the ceremony in which they are walking. Additionally, as with any assignment, students may submit an SEF at least four weeks in advance to request an excused absence. Fall Commencement (Wind Ensemble): Fri, Dec. 15 at 11:00am Spring Commencement (Symphony estra): Fri, May 11 at 10:00am and 2:00pm Grading Scale The Music Conservatory uses the following grading scale for all applied lessons and ensembles: A % C 79-81% A % C % B % D % B 87-89% D 69-73% B % F 68% and below C % 5

6 Performance Attendance Policy The faculty of the Music Conservatory strongly advocate for student attendance at a wide variety of performances. We train our students to listen actively, passionately, and with discernment, aiming to provide them with essential tools for self-education. Listening to live performances adds depth to a musical education through application of the analytical and receptive tools taught in the classroom and studio. Music does not exist without the listener; and we, as musicians, can help to build the audiences of the future by serving as contributing members of the listening public. Recording and Photography Policy All student degree recitals and ensemble concerts will be audio recorded by The Music Conservatory for archival and other internal purposes, and select performances will be photographed or video recorded. The Conservatory reserves the right to broadcast or distribute these recordings and images in support of its mission and goals. No other recordings or photography are authorized without permission from the Performance Activities Office. It is presumed that students who participate in these performances are aware of this policy and have consented to such recording and distribution. Ensemble recordings should be available in the Performing Arts Library within three weeks of the performance. It is the responsibility of the students who make use of these recordings or personal recordings and photographs to obtain all necessary permissions for that use from any other performers, and from the owners of copyrights of works performed. CCPA does not assume liability for royalties or infringements of rights in such cases. Solo Competition All registered, degree- or diploma-seeking CCPA students are eligible to compete in The Music Conservatory s annual competition to perform a solo with a CCPA orchestra. One or more winners may be selected for performance during the following academic year (winners must be either current students in good standing or have successfully completed their degree/diploma program to be eligible to perform). Former winners are ineligible unless they have completed a degree or diploma program and entered a new program since their previous win. Instrumentalists will present a complete concerto or other solo piece with orchestra. Singers will present a solo piece with orchestra; opera arias are not allowed. The decision of the judges will be based on the musical integrity of the performance along with programming considerations. If you have any questions regarding repertoire appropriateness, please present these inquiries to the Performance Activities Office. The CCPA Solo Competition will be held in Ganz Hall on Saturday, March 31, Applications will be due before 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 15 along with a $25 audition deposit (refunded after completion of audition). The schedule of auditions will be announced by Thursday, March 1.

8 Place Performer Guidelines Community Performance Initiative The purpose of the Community Performance Initiative is to expand students understanding of music as an artistic product by engaging them in its social and cultural practice. Students assigned to Community Performances will execute the planning and preparation required for concert performances; begin to develop the ability to communicate about music with individuals and target audiences; and reflect on their efforts and achievements, formulating and exploring issues relative to their future careers. Students assigned to Community Performances will be enrolled in PERF 340/440, a zerocredit, pass-fail course. Community Performance assignments may emanate from regular coursework (e.g. Small Jazz Ensemble or Music) or they may be co-curricular. CCPA places a high priority on being a responsible and responsive member of the community. All Community Performances will be attended by at least one member of the faculty or administration. As representatives of the school, students enrolled in PERF 340/440 Community Performance Initiative are expected to model exemplary professionalism at all times. Every student performer will fulfill the six requirements below in order to earn a passing grade; not fulfilling all requirements will result in a failing grade for PERF 340/440, which may also affect other course grades and scholarship support. Schedule for the Music@Grace performances: Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. at Grace Place (637 S. Dearborn St.) September 14: Launch Party Concert (Faculty performing) September 28: String Ensembles October 12: Piano October 26: Opera (OperaFest selections) November 9: Jazz Ensembles November 30: Woodwind Ensembles December 7: Brass Ensembles January 18: Solo Sampler (students selected by faculty based on Fall juries) February 1: Piano February 15: Woodwind Ensembles March 1: Opera Diploma students March 22: Jazz Ensembles April 5: String Ensembles All performers assigned to the Music@Grace Series will be responsible for the following: Pre-performance Communication Performance Promotion Concerts for a Cause Public Speaking Audience Engagement Reflection and Evaluation Pre-performance Communication: Musicians will give the venue complete repertoire details, program order and short biographies for each performer. Repertoire details include title of piece, movement names, composer name, composer birth / death dates and featured guest musicians (as applicable). Since programs are small, biographies should be only 3-4 sentences long for ensembles and one paragraph including a maximum of 150 words for soloists. Each performer or the ensemble contact person should these complete details to Dean Berna, lberna@roosevelt.edu, at least 2 weeks prior to the performance. 8

9 Performance Promotion: Though the venue will be promoting the concert within the South Loop community, concert attendance can vary greatly. Musicians are responsible for creating awareness for their performance by promotion via social media, word of mouth and using resources such as the event posters provided by CCPA. Concerts for a Cause: Reflecting Roosevelt s commitment to social justice, musicians will highlight a nonprofit or cause they believe in that engenders positive change in our community or society. This could include a goods donation drive (winter coats for the homeless, a food drive, etc.) or a call for monetary collection in a free will offering. Public Speaking: Students will help their audiences to make connections with the music they ve worked so hard to prepare by giving a brief introduction, either to the entire program or to the individual selections. A few practiced talking points will guide the audience to listen for what is fun, meaningful and/or fascinating about the music or the experience of learning and performing it. After the concert, musicians will thank the audience for attending and invite them to the post-concert reception (hosted downstairs). Audience Engagement: Following the performance, Grace Place has graciously agreed to host a post-concert reception. This will feature light food with refreshments and the opportunity to connect more personally with the audience members. All musicians must attend the reception. Reflection and Evaluation: No later than one week after the performance, each musician will submit an essay (Word document or PDF, 10- or 12-point font) reflecting on their musical preparation as well as the performance itself; the collaboration among performers (if applicable) on planning and non-musical preparation; the means chosen to promote the concert and an evaluation of its effectiveness; the method of selecting and publicizing a cause, as well as the results (e.g. dollars raised, donated goods delivered). Musicians will conclude with a description of insights and knowledge gained from the experience. Need help with your bios, public speaking or incorporating your cause? Contact Allegra Montanari, Director of the Center for Arts Leadership at amontanari@roosevelt.edu to set up an appointment. 9

10 Syllabi estras (ENS 202/402) For String Players Syllabus Director of estras: Dr. Emanuele Andrizzi Office Phone: , AUD 952 Office Hours: TBA Course Objectives The course of study is designed to train advancing musicians in professional orchestral ensemble skills and to habituate them to the highest standard of professionalism as orchestral musicians by: Rehearsing and performing both the standard orchestral repertoire and selected works from the larger orchestral repertoire Helping the students refine their musical knowledge and hone their ensemble performance skills Creating an environment for individual expression and creativity Placing an emphasis on overall concepts of ensemble: musical accountability, engagement, and preparation Providing an awareness of performance practice within the context of historic style periods Developing the musical knowledge, the artistic sensitivity, and the performing skills necessary to better prepare as an orchestral musician. Exceptions to the syllabus of any kind will be considered for approval only with the submission of a Syllabus Exception Form (SEF). This syllabus relates to all estra assignments: Symphony,, String, and Opera. Grading Grading will be based on the following criteria: Performers will be evaluated on the basis of their musical preparedness, professional conduct, performance skills, and consistent and focused rehearsal conduct. The conductor has the faculty to ask a student to make an appointment to play for him/her the repertoire that is being prepared during the class to evaluate the student s level of preparation. If the result is not at the level expected by the conductor, the student might receive a grade deduction based on the level of preparation up to being removed from the final performance and receiving an F. Attendance/Punctuality (see below for details) Technical/Artistic Progress: all students are supposed to practice their parts judiciously and to be prepared on their music by the first rehearsal of each cycle. In addition, students will be supposed to be ready to play any excerpt from the program in front of the rest of the orchestra, if requested by the conductor. Students who do not show preparation and progress will be penalized with one grade degree per each occurrence. Work Ethic/Cooperativeness/Attitude: all the orchestra players are supposed to be active members of the ensemble, and therefore participate in its development. Students who show a lack of respect for their colleagues and for the conductors who lead them will receive a grade penalty, depending on the gravity of the behavior and the recurrence of the problem Professional Decorum: Attire at all rehearsals and performances should be discreet and in good taste in keeping with a high degree of respect for oneself and one s colleagues. All students taking part in a rotation will be expected to fill out a course evaluation for that concert cycle. 10

11 Also, the grade will be lowered (the extent to which will be determined on a case-by-case basis) for any instance of insubordinate behavior toward a coach and/or a conductor, and any violation of policies specific to off-campus performances such as "horseplay" and ignoring University travel protocol. Any substance use (for example, alcohol, marijuana) which can be verified by a conductor, coach, or staff member at any rehearsal or performance will result in a failing grade for estras (zero tolerance), and disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the ensemble program. Please, note that the Head of estras will have the final say in all grading decisions, even if he is not the conductor of record at the rehearsal or performance in question. The use of cell phones, smartphones, ipads, and all such similar devices is strictly prohibited during rehearsals. All such devices must be stored out of sight and switched off at all times during rehearsals. For each discrete instance in which a student is observed having left such a device in sight or able to produce sound during rehearsals there will one full grade degree decrement (i.e. A to A-). Any student expecting an important and unavoidable phone call during rehearsal must notify the conductor or whoever is instructing the class BEFORE the rehearsal begins and receive explicit permission to be exempted from this requirement. Any willful attempt on the part of a student to falsify information to subvert the terms of the syllabus or any other instance of academic dishonesty as defined by the college and university will result in an immediate failing grade for the term. Attendance Attendance at all rehearsals is mandatory Any student who reaches a combined total of 3 unexcused absences during one single rotation or 4 unexcused absences in a semester for any reason, will receive an F Each unexcused absence from a rehearsal will result in one full grade degree decrement (i.e. A to A-) An unexcused absence from a concert, dress rehearsal, sound check, side-by-side, recording session, or other required performance, at CCPA or off-site, will result in a failing grade. After two absences (excused or unexcused) from rehearsals in preparation for any given concert program, an appointment must be made with the conductor before the next rehearsal in order to insure your musical preparedness, to preserve your grade, and to maintain your seating position in your section. Please bring your instrument and be prepared to perform excerpts from the concert repertoire. Students who acquire a temporary injury (i.e. tendonitis) are not excused from rehearsal. Members must attend the rehearsal and sit in or near their section with their music and pencil so as not to miss important musical and interpretive issues necessary to the performance. For the sake of the entire ensemble, if principals/section leaders miss more than one rehearsal, excused or unexcused, during a single rotation, they can be removed from leading their section or playing as principals for that rotation at the discretion of the director or orchestras/director of wind ensemble/guest conductor. In such cases, the PAO will inform via both the student in question and the student who will be asked to take his/her place as a section leader/principal by 12pm of the day of the rehearsal in which the change happens. In particular cases and depending on the circumstances, the director of orchestras/director of wind ensemble/guest conductor, at his/her discretion, has the faculty both of asking the mentioned student(s) to play for him/her and of trying out several students to take and learn the new leading part before making his/her final decision, if this event happens during the first weeks of the rotation. 11

12 Students who have their final recitals during the orchestra/wind ensemble rotation, may be allowed to leave class 15 minutes prior to their sound check upon presenting an SEF to the PAO. If they would like to not play on that day of rehearsal, in order to save for their recital, they will need to fill an SEF form, provide the orchestra with a sub and also to be present at rehearsals to take notes. These requests will not be granted under any circumstances on dress rehearsals, sound checks, recording session, side-by-side rehearsals, and concert days. Excused Absences In exceptional cases, at the discretion of the Head of the estra Program/Wind Ensemble, a student may be excused from a rehearsal (or part of it) or from a performance. Leave will be given full consideration if requested with a Syllabus Exception Form two weeks (or more) before the first service of the set in question or before the break if the set in questions is scheduled at the beginning of the Spring semester. Requests received less than two weeks prior to this deadline will not be accepted (this does not apply to sudden illness, a death in the family, or other last-minute exigencies). Forms are to be submitted directly to the Performance Activities Office (AUD 932) and an must be sent to inform the conductor of that rotation. Situations that merit consideration for absence include: Situations that merit consideration for leave from a rehearsal include: Unique and compelling musical or professional opportunities relevant to one s instrument or major (i.e. finalist in an international competition, relevant professional engagement) Graduate student s request to attend a professional audition Senior student's request to attend a professional audition or a grad school audition (no other undergrad student will be excused to take a professional/grad school audition, unless he/she has a special authorization from the Dean) Important family events Incapacitating or contagious illness (NB: A student must both call or the Ensemble Operations Manager BEFORE the rehearsal time if he or she cannot attend as a result of serious illness, and send an to inform the director of orchestras/director of the wind ensemble/guest conductor. Failure to do so may result in an unexcused absence) Religious holidays Tardiness Skillful performance requires that students be warmed up and focused on the music well before the beginning of a rehearsal. All members of the orchestral ensembles must be in their seats and ready to play at least five minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Any musician not in their seat and ready to play from five minutes prior to rehearsal till fifteen minutes after the scheduled downbeat will be marked as tardy. Students arriving after this time will receive an unexcused absence. If a student is called to rehearse a piece that is not scheduled at the very beginning of the rehearsal, he/she must be ready to play 5 minutes before the time announced in the schedule if the piece is scheduled after a break, or right at the scheduled time if the piece follows suit another piece. In the case of a piece that is not scheduled at the beginning of rehearsal, no lateness will be tolerated, and students who are not ready to play when their piece comes up in rehearsal will receive an unexcused absence. The official clock in the actual space of the performance, rehearsal or sectional in question will be the clock of record for all tardies and absences. Three unexcused tardies will result in the grade being lowered one full grade degree (i.e. A to A-). Three unexcused tardies are the equivalent of one unexcused absence. Tardiness for a concert call, a dress rehearsal, and/or a recording session at CCPA or offsite will result in two full grade degrees decrement (i.e. A to B+). Any student who reaches a combined total of 4 unexcused absences in a semester for any reason, will receive an F or an Incomplete for the term, depending upon the nature of the absence. 12

13 In other words: On time = ready to play at 2:05pm Tardy = in your seat from 2:05 to 2:24pm Absent = in your seat at 2:25pm or later Rehearsal Schedule and Protocol Please make sure to have a pencil at all rehearsals, to neatly and accurately mark your part per conductor, coach and/or principal-player instruction, and to observe and respond to the principal player. The weekly rehearsals schedule is sent out through Blackboard for musicians convenience on the evening of the previous Friday. The actual rehearsals schedule may change slightly or significantly. Students will be notified of such changes through Blackboard, along with a written post on the Ensembles Bulletin Board by the morning following the announcement. As in the profession, musicians assigned to orchestra are on call for the entirety of each service and expected to be on hand and ready to play at their best when their piece is to be rehearsed. Students who are not ready to play when their piece comes up in rehearsal will be marked tardy, regardless of the posted rehearsal schedule. Sectionals Sectional locations will be posted on the orchestra bulletin board and online in the Music Conservatory Ensembles Blackboard site. It is the responsibility of each student to identify the location of his/her assigned sectional. Attendance at sectionals will be graded on the same basis as all other rehearsals. Off-Site/Off-Campus Performances When the estra plays in locations outside of the downtown area and not easily accessible via public transportation from the Auditorium Building, transportation will be provided. Bus departure times are firm and the bus will not be held for students who are not on the bus prior to the scheduled departure time. Students who miss the bus will be expected to find alternate transportation and will be graded for their attendance at the service(s) as per the terms of the syllabus. Please refer to the policy and guidelines in the Attendance section above regarding attendance-taking and signing in at off-campus performance venues. Dress Code Proper concert attire is mandatory. The specific dress code for each performance will be one of the following, and will be indicated in the Book. Please be considerate of those in the orchestra who may have allergies and, if you wear perfume or cologne or other scented product, be certain that it is minimal, especially in the wind section. There will be one grade degree deduction (e.g. from A to A-) for each infraction of the dress code. Communication Please note that a great deal of communication will occur throughout the school year by , phone, and the ensemble Blackboard site. All official communication is to occur using Roosevelt University accounts. It is each student s responsibility to check and phone messages in a timely manner and in any case daily, to respond accordingly, and to supply current and accurate contact information to the Ensemble Operations Manager and the Conductor. Automated responses and voice mail messages that indicate a longer response time than 24 hours and give specific emergency contact instructions are acceptable responses and will not result in a grade penalty. The response requirement will remain in force during the entire semester, including Thanksgiving and Spring Breaks. As a courtesy, during vacation periods between semester, CCPA staff will only contact students with s requiring a 24-hour response in the case of a clear and pressing need to do so. 13

14 Assignments Assignments at the beginning of the school year will be made based on the results of auditions at the discretion of the Head of the estra program, in collaboration with faculty in attendance at the auditions. Students who do not audition as scheduled may not be assigned to play in orchestra, unless they have been authorized to miss the audition by the Head or by the Director of the Music Conservatory. Subsequent assignments will reflect the ongoing progress of each student in the program, and their demonstrated suitability for assignments based on their artistic ability, professionalism, and attitude. With the exception of the first set of the term, all seating assignments will be posted on the Ensemble Bulletin Board (in the hallway directly across from AUD 928) and on the Music Conservatory Blackboard site, no less than one week before the music sign-out date for each set. It is each student s responsibility to check the bulletin board and online for their individual assignments. In some cases, changes to assignments are necessary after the initial posting of assignments. Changes to assignments will be communicated via requiring response within 24 hours. Assignments include an associate for every key solo position for each set and the associates must remain on call and available to play the solo part on 24 hours notice, at all times during the specified set. Regardless of assignment to a specific piece or set, all musicians enrolled in the Symphony estra course are on call for all services of Symphony estra indicated in the book and must remain available in the event of changing assignments. Ensemble participation as assigned is a condition of continued scholarship support. Music Sign-out policy Each musician will receive their own parts delivered to their mailboxes prior to the rehearsals for any assigned set. Percussion faculty will assign and distribute the parts. Each musician will be responsible for returning his/her parts to the graduate assistant / ensemble operation manager at the end of the concert for each set. Musicians will be billed the full replacement cost for lost parts or parts returned in poor condition in the judgment of the director. Students will have one week to remit full payment for damaged parts. Payments received after one week from the concert will result in a deduction of one grade degree for every school day the payment is late. Pre-existing Conditions Any student with a pre-existing condition of any kind that may require ongoing exceptions under the syllabus must seek approval from the Associate Dean/Director of the Music Conservatory, his or her private instructor, and the director of the program before enrolling in the course. Observers Unassigned students and/or guests may observe rehearsals only at the discretion of the director and the conductor of that rehearsal, and under the condition that they remain in designated places for observation only. The Book As a courtesy, before the school year begins, every orchestral instrument and chamber musician at CCPA will be given a copy of the Book containing instrumental ensemble schedules for the season. The Book reflects the events detailed above in a convenient format. The Book should not be regarded as complete, as events may be added and cancelled during the year. In the event of a discrepancy between the book and the syllabus, as regards anything but the schedule, the syllabus shall take precedence. The online version of the Book (posted on Blackboard and in the Current Students section of the Music Conservatory website) shall take precedence over the hard copy of the Book, but no students will be held responsible for changes to the schedule for which they were not sent an requiring 24-hour response. 14

Any student expecting an important and unavoidable phone call during rehearsal must notify the conductor or whoever is instructing the class BEFORE the rehearsal begins and receive explicit permission to be exempted from this requirement. Any willful attempt on the part of a student to falsify information to subvert the terms of the syllabus or any other instance of academic dishonesty as defined by the college and university will result in an immediate failing grade for the term. Attendance Attendance at all rehearsals is mandatory. Any student who reaches a combined total of 3 unexcused absences during one single rotation or 4 unexcused absences in a semester for any reason, will receive an F. Each unexcused absence from a rehearsal will result in one full grade degree decrement (i.e. A to A-) An unexcused absence from a concert, dress rehearsal, sound check, side-by-side, recording session, or other required performance, at CCPA or off-site, will result in a failing grade. Each player missing a rehearsal is required to find a substitute player and arrange to give her/him the part. A player may leave her/his part with the Ensemble Operations Manager to be picked up by the substitute. Students who acquire a temporary injury (i.e. tendonitis) are not excused from rehearsal. Members must attend the rehearsal and sit in or near their section with their music and pencil so as not to miss important musical and interpretive issues necessary to the performance. For the sake of the entire ensemble, if principals/section leaders miss more than one rehearsal, excused or unexcused, during a single rotation, they can be removed from leading their section or playing as principals for that rotation at the discretion of the director or orchestras/director of wind ensemble/guest conductor. In such cases, the PAO will inform via both the student in question and the student who will be asked to take his/her place as a section leader/principal by 12pm of the day of the rehearsal in which the change happens. In particular cases and depending on the circumstances, the director of orchestras/director of wind ensemble/guest conductor, at his/her discretion, has the faculty both of asking the mentioned student(s) to play for him/her and of trying out several students to take and learn the new leading part before making his/her final decision, if this event happens during the first weeks of the rotation. Students who have their final recitals during the orchestra/wind ensemble rotation, may be allowed to leave class 15 minutes prior to their sound check upon presenting an SEF to the PAO. If they would like to not play on that day of rehearsal, in order to save for their recital, they will need to fill an SEF form, provide the orchestra with a sub and also to be present at rehearsals to take notes. These requests will not be granted under any circumstances on dress rehearsals, sound checks, recording session, side-by-side rehearsals, and concert days. 16

17 Excused Absences In exceptional cases, at the discretion of the Head of the estra Program/Wind Ensemble, a student may be excused from a rehearsal (or part of it) or from a performance. Leave will be given full consideration if requested with a Syllabus Exception Form two weeks (or more) before the first service of the set in question or before the break if the set in questions is scheduled at the beginning of the Spring semester. Requests received less than two weeks prior to this deadline will not be accepted (this does not apply to sudden illness, a death in the family, or other last-minute exigencies). Forms are to be submitted directly to the Performance Activities Office (AUD 932) and an must be sent to inform the conductor of that rotation. Situations that merit consideration for absence include: Unique and compelling musical or professional opportunities relevant to one s instrument or major (i.e. finalist in an international competition, relevant professional engagement) Graduate student s request to attend a professional audition Senior student's request to attend a professional audition or a grad school audition (no other undergrad student will be excused to take a professional/grad school audition, unless he/she has a special authorization from the Dean) Important family events Incapacitating or contagious illness (NB: A student must both call or the Ensemble Operations Manager BEFORE the rehearsal time if he or she cannot attend as a result of serious illness, and send an to inform the director of orchestras/director of the wind ensemble/guest conductor. Failure to do so may result in an unexcused absence) Religious holidays Tardiness Skillful performance requires that students be warmed up and focused on the music well before the beginning of a rehearsal. All members of the orchestral ensembles must be in their seats and ready to play at least five minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Any musician not in their seat and ready to play from five minutes prior to rehearsal till fifteen minutes after the scheduled downbeat will be marked as tardy. Students arriving after this time will receive an unexcused absence. If a student is called to rehearse a piece that is not scheduled at the very beginning of the rehearsal, he/she must be ready to play 5 minutes before the time announced in the schedule if the piece is scheduled after a break, or right at the scheduled time if the piece follows suit another piece. In the case of a piece that is not scheduled at the beginning of rehearsal, no lateness will be tolerated, and students who are not ready to play when their piece comes up in rehearsal will receive an unexcused absence. The official clock in the actual space for the performance, rehearsal or sectional in question will be the clock of record for all tardies and absences. Three unexcused tardies will result in the grade being lowered one full grade degree (i.e. from A to A-). Three unexcused tardies are the equivalent of one unexcused absence. Each unexcused tardy at any dress rehearsal or recording session will result in the grade being lowered one full grade degree (i.e. from A to A-). Any student who reaches a combined total of 4 unexcused absences in a semester for any reason, will receive an F or an Incomplete for the term, depending upon the nature of the absences. In other words: On time = ready to play at 2:04pm (2:10 for WE) Tardy = in your seat from 2:05 to 2:24pm (2:10 2:29 for WE) Absent = in your seat at 2:25pm (2:30 for WE) or later 17

18 Rehearsal Schedule and Protocol Please make sure to have a pencil at all rehearsals, to neatly and accurately mark your part per conductor, coach and/or principal-player instruction, and to observe and respond to the principal player. The weekly rehearsals schedule is sent out through Blackboard for musicians convenience on the evening of the previous Friday. The actual rehearsals schedule may change slightly or significantly. Students will be notified of such changes through Blackboard, along with a written post on the Ensembles Bulletin Board by the morning following the announcement. As in the profession, musicians assigned to orchestra are on call for the entirety of each service and expected to be on hand and ready to play at their best when their piece is to be rehearsed. Students who are not ready to play when their piece comes up in rehearsal will be marked tardy, regardless of the posted rehearsal schedule. estra Sectionals Sectional locations will be posted on the orchestra bulletin board and online in the Music Conservatory Ensembles Blackboard site. It is the responsibility of each student to identify the location of his/her assigned sectional. Attendance at sectionals will be graded on the same basis as all other rehearsals. Off-Site/Off-Campus Performances When the ensembles play in locations outside of the downtown area and not easily accessible via public transportation from the Auditorium Building, transportation will be provided. Bus departure times are firm and the bus will not be held for students who are not on the bus prior to the scheduled departure time. Students who miss the bus will be expected to find alternate transportation and will be graded for their attendance at the service(s) as per the terms of the syllabus. Please refer to the policy and guidelines in the Attendance section above regarding attendance-taking and signing in at off-campus performance venues. Dress Code Proper concert attire is mandatory. The specific dress code for each performance will be one of the following, and will be indicated in the Book. Please be considerate of those in the orchestra who may have allergies and, if you wear perfume or cologne or other scented product, be certain that it is minimal, especially in the wind section. There will be one grade degree deduction (e.g. from A to A-) for each infraction of the dress code. Communication Please note that a great deal of communication will occur throughout the school year by , phone, and the ensemble Blackboard site. All official communication is to occur using Roosevelt University accounts. It is each student s responsibility to check and phone messages in a timely manner and in any case daily, to respond accordingly, and to supply current and accurate contact information to the Ensemble Operations Manager and the Conductor. Automated responses and voice mail messages that indicate a longer response time than 24 hours and give specific emergency contact instructions are acceptable responses and will not result in a grade penalty. The response requirement will remain in force during the entire semester, including Thanksgiving and Spring Breaks. As a courtesy, during vacation periods between semester, CCPA staff will only contact students with s requiring a 24-hour response in the case of a clear and pressing need to do so. Assignments Assignments at the beginning of the school year will be made based on the results of auditions at the discretion of the Ensemble Directors, in collaboration with faculty in attendance at the auditions. Students who do not audition as scheduled may not be assigned to play in ensembles, unless they have been authorized to miss the audition by the Ensemble Directors 18
