Absence Reporting
Report absence(s) as soon as you become aware of a conflict with your schedule - this could mean reporting an absence months in advance, or as late as the day of the rehearsal. Members can report upcoming absences they know in advance on the page posted in our rehearsal room, but any absence that is within a week of the absence should be reported to section leader.Section Leaders
