Remember that you will be performing from the moment you leave the music room until you return. Represent yourself and the music program in the best possible manner. Students who misbehave will be excluded from future trips (see the grading policy). All school rules remain in effect. If you have to ask if an action is appropriate or not, it probably is not, so don’t do it.

*AYMATT = All Your Music, All The Time
