General Policies

Rehearsal Attendance

To achieve performance excellence, consistent attendance is crucial. During auditions, we’ll discuss your required rehearsals. Please prioritize Saints rehearsals and communicate any conflicts with staff. Contact information is available via email and within your ensembles’ BAND group.

IF A SCHOOL CONFLICT ARISES, THE SCHOOL FUNCTION TAKES PRIORITY.

Practice Facilities

We utilize various local rehearsal sites and our dedicated practice field. Treat these spaces with respect:

  • Leave facilities cleaner than you found them.
  • No smoking on school grounds or at our practice field.
  • Dispose of trash properly.
  • Take care of our shared spaces.

Uniform Etiquette

As a member of SPA, you represent our commitment to excellence. Adhere to these uniform guidelines:

  • Complete Uniform: Ensure you have all components (plume, shako, shirt, vest, jacket, pants, black socks, black shoes, and black gloves) and store them properly.
  • Uniform Integrity: Do not alter the uniform. Secure any personal items discreetly.
  • Hair: Hair should be organized and clean worn so it’s out of your face.
  • Jewelry: No large scale jewelry that may impede your uniform or instrument function
  • No Smoking: Refrain from smoking while in uniform.
  • Professionalism: Maintain appropriate language and behavior while representing SPA.

These guidelines ensure a consistent and professional image for all SPA members.
