Whether we are in class, sectionals, games, or a Saturday competition, we are representing the Instrumental Music Program, Villa Park High School, the Orange Unified School District, and the City of Villa Park.\u00a0 It is vital that we maintain a positive code of conduct at all times.\u00a0 You may certainly enjoy yourself while always being polite to and respectful of those around you.\u00a0 Remember that the words “please” and “thank you” will work wonders.\u2028\u2028All adults should be treated with respect.\u00a0 This includes your directors, parents, volunteers, chaperones, audience, and anyone else we see, whether they know us or not.\u00a0 We always want to leave people with the best possible impression of us–both on and off the field.<\/p>\n
Public Displays of Affection (PDA)
\nThis is an interesting topic.\u00a0 Even a kiss on the cheek is inappropriate in public when in uniform.\u00a0 There are better ways (verbal and non-verbal) to show your support and confidence in each other.\u00a0 Handholding should not take place in front of the audience.
\nSpecifics
\nAt all times, the policies set forth by the OUSD will apply at all Instrumental Music activites both on and off campus; before, during, or after regular school hours.\u00a0 This shouldn’t be necessary, but here are examples of specific behaviours that WILL NOT BE TOLERATED:
\n\u2022 smoking
\n\u2022 illcit drugs
\n\u2022 drinking
\n\u2022 profanity
\n\u2022 behavior deemed to be in poor taste (PDA)
\n\u2022 abusive or threatening language directed toward any staff member or fellow student.\u00a0 Such language is unnecessary and unacceptable at all times.<\/p>\n
