Attendance Policy Reminder

Musicians are expected to attend all rehearsals and concerts for the full duration of the season. If a musician is absent from, leaves early, or arrives late to any of these functions more than 3 times, he/she may be asked not to perform at the upcoming concert at the discretion of the conductor and the orchestra president. If a musician has a legitimate conflict (including illness), the musician shall be responsible for notifying Mr. Su at 310-377-6821 (caelmersu@yahoo.com), AND Schola Tsai at 310-544-2218 (pvroscholatsai@gmail.com) or Diana West at 310-766-1921 (loveylovey@cox.net) in advance of your absence.
