Absence Policy

PYCO members are allowed two absences per semester. Members must inform the PYCO staff of their absences as soon as possible in writing by sending an email to info@pyco.org. No verbal notifications are allowed.

If a member knows in advance that he or she will have more than two absences, he or she must notify their ensemble director beforehand. A strict attendance policy is maintained to ensure the quality of our ensembles.

Every member is expected to arrive at least 10 minutes before the start time of their rehearsal to get unpacked, tuned, and ready to play. Late arrival to rehearsal will be counted as 1/2 absence.

Dismissal from PYCO will occur with more than the allowed number of absences and there will be no refund of tuition.
