Policies, Procedures & Expectations
Who is eligible?
Students must have completed their first year in band; MOST students who will enroll are in grades 7 - 12.
Attendance
Students will need to attend 4 out of the 6 rehearsals to play at the concert. Please let us know if you are planning on missing a rehearsal so we can plan accordingly. We understand that school is busy during this time of year; as long as students communicate well and can perform their music at an appropriate level, we will handle absences on a case by case basis.
Rehearsals
What you will need: a pencil, your folder with all music, your saxophone and reeds, a great attitude!
Students should arrive 15 minutes before rehearsal starts; since we will be rehearsing at a school, we will not be policing the door the entire rehearsal - students who arrive late may not be able to get in the building.
Payment and Cancellation Policy
Full payment of $150 is due at the time of registration. A full refund will be issued if the date of cancellation is more than one week before the start of the Fall/Spring session. If a notice of cancellation is received less than seven days before the start of the session, a $75 refund will be issued. If a student needs to withdraw once the session has started, there will be no refund issued. YSI also reserves the right to cancel or alter some aspect of a program, including program itinerary, dates, location or duration, as a result of unforeseen circumstances, or for any other reason.

Student and parent/guardian acknowledge that if student is dismissed or departs for any reason, or chooses to return early from the program, no refunds can be granted. Further, student and parent/guardian are responsible for any and all costs of early departure whether for medical reasons, dismissal, personal emergencies or otherwise.
