Proposed Latter to Send Band Yembers for 1970 season
Standards of Perron nce as goals of attainment:
1. Attendance at all rehearsals and concerts. If unable to attend, arrange a
replacement, or so inform us so we can arrange a replacement.
2. Being on time and ready to perform at the designated time.
3. Being in uniform at all performances: for public performances; black shoes,
black socks, black pants or skirts, white short sleeved shirt or bluse, black
tie for males and black tie substitute for females.
!!.. Concentration on the job at hand so we can perform at our very best effort.
5. Curtesy to our conductor. Our conductor has a 2 hour time limit arbitrarily
plaesd on him for completion of a rehearsal preparing us to play a concert that
is interesting enough to dray an audience. You may have noticed that when the
band plays better that more people come out to hear it. Our conductor has the
absolute responsibility to turn out a musical organization that performs as a
unit, He is the only one who can do this to make it possible for us to succeed
in our individual efforts of performance.
6. It is the individual responsibility for each of us to meet these standards
of performance. It would appear to me that failure to do so without adequate
reason therefore should lead only to one result: other arrangements mould need
be made.
The secret to making this work will be a matter of judgment when to blot +r
the whistle on a particular individual and determine he or she is not meeting
the standards of performance satisfactorily or successfully to require a re-
placement.
Suggestion: if each of us will take care of our individual part in it and
(proposed letter to members - con't) 2
not concern ourself with the other guy, this works the best.
If you start with the Band it is anticipated that your loyalty for the
summer is with the Band and not sorle other musical group. This is not meant
to say we do not expect you to take vacations, 3o to summer 1rusic..camps, etc.
because we realize these things are a regular part of summer activities. But,
we do expect you to put Monday night and Tuesday night aside for the Band (and
yourself) during the regular su;mser concert season.
Questions: should we have a policy for the ➢and on haircuts?
should we have a policy for the Band on smoking at rehearsals?
Remember: the basic policy of the Band (should be) is always to do what
is in the best interests of the Band.
