WHAT you need to DO
BE HERE
Attending all scheduled rehearsals is PARAMOUNT to our team’s success.
There’s no way to simply “make up” for what is missed at a rehearsal; there’s so substitute for being present.
Please re-schedule other appointments whenever possible
If you absolutely must be gone, be sure to use our attendance reporting system click here
We can work out schedule conflicts with other Union activities via compromise if we have advance notice.
Let’s hold each other accountable for being here!
