Studio policies

We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.

We close for Thanksgiving week and for one week at the turn of the year. If weather closes the hall, we email and text every band by mid-afternoon and move the rehearsal to open hall that week.

We ask for two weeks' written notice to leave during a season, and a season in progress is paid through the notice. Between seasons, tell us before sign-up opens for the next one.

Friends and family are welcome at showcase nights, and the hall opens an hour before the first band. During a season, rehearsals are for the band, so ask your coach before bringing a guest. At a showcase, phones go down while a band plays.

Phones stay in a pocket or on the amp shelf during rehearsal, except for a tuner, a metronome or a chart your coach asks for.

Wear what you would play in, with closed shoes around cables and amps. Bring your own guitar, bass, horn or sticks; the hall has a house drum kit, amps, keyboards and microphones. For a showcase night, a dark shirt is plenty.
