If there is a concert that you are unable to do, please let your section leader know as soon as possible and no later than two weeks before the start of rehearsals for that particularly concert. This is important so that we can book deps and get the right balance between first and second violins.

If there is a rehearsal that you can’t do, please let your section leader know as soon as you can.
