  • Students in town on the day of the show are expected to attend.
  • Students out-of-town on pre-planned fall break vacations are excused
  • Especially because we are getting so few football game performances this season, it is important that students attend if possible.
  • There will be no fall break rehearsals leading up to the game day. We will communicate other details when we know them for certain.
