All costumes and tickets purchased will be non-refundable.
2.7. I understand that the concert dates have been published and that all rehearsals are compulsory to attend.
2.8. Any concert rehearsals missed due to exceptional circumstances must be agreed upon with the office ahead of time. If rehearsals are missed without approval of the Academy, students will be taken out of the concert, all costumes and tickets purchased will be non-refundable.
