Unexcused absences

Hi folks,

In the second week of classes, I've already had 2-3 students with unexcused absences in Lambuth Singers and voice lessons. I am speaking with them individually and wanted to communicate to you as a group that this is really unacceptable. Short of being unconscious or another life-threatening emergency, there is NO REASON why you cannot call me beforehand! Remember that each unexcused absence lowers your grade one letter in that class.

In the case of Lambuth Singers, remember that there are several good people who didn't get selected. Your attendance is VITAL to the success of the group! A person with continued unexcused absences will lose their spot in the ensemble.

And thank you very much to the vast majority of you who have attended consistently and have contacted me regarding illnesses or other absence-related issues!
