Every effort should be made to be at all required performances and rehearsal.  The dates can be found in the Pioneer Pride Calendar and the Pioneer Pride Handbook.  If there is a reason you will be absent from any of these the Pioneer Pride Absence Form must be filled out by a parent or guardian.  This does not necessarily excuse the absence.  Please read the Pioneer Pride Absence Policy in the Handbook for more details.
