Practice and Performance Expectations

• All KPIPE members attend all practices, clinics, and performances. You need to plan your calendar accordingly so that your ensemble can rely on you and have the most efficient rehearsals and successful performances possible.

• Maintain physical health throughout the season so that you are a fully functioning performer.

• Anyone who becomes a concern about reliability with attendance or proper participation on the floor will immediately have their position in the production altered or removed. Our drill and music arranges are close contacts of our director staff; therefore, music and drill changes can happen swiftly if necessary to remove anyone who does not treat this ensemble as the privilege that it is.

• Excusing an absence will be at the discretion of the directors, and you must present documentation supporting the reason for the absence.

• Your role as a cast member in our ensemble is to listen, absorb, and execute the work given to you by the instructors.

• No member of the performing body has the right to critique or criticize the performance of any ensemble member unless asked to provide constructive criticism of a run by a staff member. If you have a compliment to pay to anyone, then, by all means, do so when it is appropriate.

• During rehearsals, you are only to speak or play when told to do so by an instructor. We hold equipment still and in a unified position in between reps in order to be still and quiet while directors are giving feedback.

• Your response to an instruction or request by an instructor is "Yes, Sir" or "Yes, Ma'am."

• If you have a question about an instruction, you may raise your hand to ask that question when called upon; however, we do not argue with instructors or other cast members during rehearsal. (We had too many issues with this last year. If it is an issue this year, we will remove those members, regardless of their position in the production.)

• All members are expected to count/pulse during rehearsal blocks unless told to not do so. THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL! Front ensemble pulsing is a requirement of the production.

• All cast members and floor crew members are expected to be positive, respectful, motivating, and collaborative regarding our program, our members, and our school at all times. What we do is hard work but fun work when it is done the right way. Any cast member or floor crew member who takes away from the joy and focus of rehearsal and performance will be subject to removal.
