Absence Request Form
ALL absences and planned tardiness must be reported to the BU Band office via the Excuse web form. This form must be filled out by 4 PM the day of weekday events, or by 4 PM Friday for weekend events. Your cooperation in this matter will assist us in best notifying the ensemble staff of their events' personnel situation. Failure to notify the BU Band office via the web excuse form will indicate to us that you are no longer interested in the ensemble and your name will be removed from the roster.
Serious illness, family emergency and religious holidays are the only excuses to miss a rehearsal. If you foresee any conflicts, you may need to reconsider your participation in the ensemble for the current semester.
Please fill out this form if you are going to be absent from or late to any BU Band events. If you have a recurring conflict, please submit the form for each occurrence, as it will help us keep the best records possible.
