- When there are attendance conflicts:

- Students will be responsible for their music at all times. A folder is provided for each student. All music is to be returned in the condition it was received by the student.
- Students will always be on time for rehearsal and come ready to rehearse, this includes but is not limited to:
- Students must spend time out of class preparing music.
- Students bringing all music to class and keeping music in excellent condition, as it is property of Duxbury High School. If materials are damaged or lost, students could be financially responsible.
- Students will always put forth all of their effort.
- Supporting other sections while they are working.
- Students will do not talk while the conductor is speaking
- Have an open mind and attitude towards all music, new, old and unfamiliar.
- The voice is an instrument and it is strongly recommended that all students Singers take voice lessons. The value of taking private lessons is that it provides one on one instruction in vocal technique and access to quality solo-vocal literature; similar to instrumental lessons. These two elements are vital and cannot be adequately addressed within a choral rehearsal.
- Students will be required to submit a bi-weekly practice record.
