B = 86 - 92

C = 76 - 85

Attendance Policy

Because the majority of classes will be used for rehearsal, attendance is crucial for this course.
Attendance will be factored into the final semester grade for students. If you miss often, it will
affect your grade for this class.

Performance Policy

It is a requirement to be involved in two productions for this course. Therefore, performances are
MANDATORY. If you do not make a performance, it will severely affect your grade. There will
be no appeal to this policy.
