Participation Policy
In the best interest of all the students, and to ensure a quality ensemble, NCMEA maintains a strict participation policy. Students must be in attendance to all rehearsals. Students must sign a participation contract which states that they will observe the attendance requirement, be punctual, positively represent themselves and their school, maintain proper rehearsal etiquette, and show respect to the facilities of the hosting school. Students who are in violation of any NCMEA regulations are subject to removal from the festival and may not be invited to future NCMEA activities.
