rehearsals as assigned. The music director will provide a schedule of rehearsal
repertoire so that you may effectively prepare your music for each rehearsal.

be your responsibility for the time you are enrolled in this ensemble. At the end of that
time, you will be asked to return the folder with all music in the condition in which it was
