  • All absences need to be called in or emailed to the HYCO office as soon as possible before rehearsal.** 2 excused absences are allowed per semester. If a student has more than 2 absences, a doctor’s note is needed.** 2 unexcused absences will result in dismissal from the program.

  • Students are expected to practice their respective parts and prepare for rehearsals to the best of their ability.
