FAQs: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE ATTENDANCE POLICY?
Attendance at all concerts is required by all members. There are no "excused" absences from concerts! Rehearsals are also mandatory. It is not fair to the group to attend rehearsals and then miss concerts—the ensemble depends on stand partners that are familiar with each other and the group working together as a whole.

Attendance at rehearsals is required except in the case of illness. Students should contact their conductor in advance if possible to explain absences. In any given semester, one unexcused absence or two absences for any reason from rehearsals may result in the student being asked not to play in the concerts. Students should contact their conductor in advance if possible to explain absences.

Unless notified to the contrary by your conductor, rehearsals are scheduled for every Monday evening during the concert season, regardless of school schedules, teacher workdays or other events.

HOW MUCH IS TUITION?
Tuition is $275 for first child, $225 for 2nd child, and $175 for each additional child in a family. The payment due date will be posted at the end of the summer.

Chamber music is $100 per child.

If the annual tuition is not paid in full OR an alternative arrangement is not negotiated in writing before the second fall rehearsal, your child will not be permitted to participate in rehearsals or concerts for the remainder of the year.

If you have a significant financial need, there are a limited number of scholarships available to help reduce tuition. If you would like to apply for a scholarhip, please download, complete, and send the scholarship application form to the Board President, Michael Lang (langmi [at] ecu.edu).

For other questions about payment methods, deadlines, etc., please contact our treasurer, Ms. Ihuoma Ugoji.
