Under what circumstances are students allowed to miss any portion of the February All-State rehearsals?
MMEA is very strict in its interpretation of our eligibility and attendance policies. With over 575 students involved in the seven All-State groups, it is necessary to follow these policies as much as possible in order to maintain the highest levels of quality in All-State. Out of fairness to the hundreds of students who make the All-State commitment and carry it through, as well as the hundreds who were not selected for participation, we make few exceptions to our attendance policy. One of the situations, however, in which MMEA will be flexible is when an All-State student is also scheduled to participate in another state- or national-level activity. The State Nordic Ski competition is a good example of such an activity, as is the State One Act Play. For a musician, All-State is comparable to the State Tournament for an athlete. Students involved in state-level activities may be allowed to miss a portion of the Friday afternoon or evening rehearsal.
