Concert Reports

A couple of quick reminders about the concert reports:

  1. TWO of them
  2. They count 15% of your final average - that's a letter and a half!
  3. Classical or Jazz ONLY - only other option would be Middle School / High School PERFORMING groups [i.e. NOT a "musical" - theatrical production]. ASK if any question
  4. Reports are due NO LATER THAN THE SECOND CLASS after the event. So if the concert was on Friday, you need to turn the thing in to me No Later Than Class on the following Wednesday.
  5. I will NOT accept them late.
  6. LAST DAY TO TURN THEM IN: THE LAST REGULAR CLASS MEETING.
  7. I will NOT grade them if turned in later than that.
  8. Only POSSIBLE exception - and this would be announced here on the blog AND in class - is if there is an awesome concert that would count between the last class day and the final exam. Those cases are RARE, however.
