Resources

Everything you need to keep the ensemble in tune — how we treat each other, how we treat the gear, and where to find scores and paperwork.

Movement I

How we act

  1. Show up on time — if you arrive after the downbeat, you cost everyone a bar.
  2. Phones live in bags during rehearsal. The only solo here belongs on the stand.
  3. Feedback stays musical and kind: critique the phrase, never the person.
  4. Talk quietly while someone is playing; save the chatter for between pieces.
  5. If you're new, say hello. Everyone sat where you're sitting once.

Housekeeping

  1. Borrowed instruments come back as you found them — wiped down, case latched, no sticky keys.
  2. Check gear out and back in with the equipment lead so nothing goes missing mid-semester.
  3. No food or drink near any instrument, amp, or the piano bench.
  4. Pianists get priority in the practice rooms during concert weeks; sign the door sheet for your slot.
  5. Leave every room as you found it: stands folded, chairs stacked, lids closed.
