Recognizing that music curricula are demanding of student time, the music faculty oversees the musical extracurricular activities of music majors. This also protects against the performance of repertoire that is unprepared or unsuitable and against possible adverse reflection on the student or Converse University. Faculty, Advisors and professors in the performance area guide students on such matters, basing their judgment on the student's preparation for the activity and the possible effect of the activity on the total academic program of the student.
- Any extracurricular performance should be discussed before committing to the event with their major Advisor. This is particularly pertinent when the activity is not a college function nor supervised by university personnel. Any extracurricular rehearsals or performances that conflict with Converse musical commitments are not acceptable excuses for missing Converse course requirements, including ensemble rehearsals.
- Leaders of performing organizations on the campus are authorized to send lists of members involved in off-campus activities to the Director who will in turn notify the faculty members whose students are involved.
