Perpetual Practice Palooza 2011
Perpetual Palooza Calendar [pdf]
Participants:
Students who participated in Practice Palooza are encouraged to continue their daily practice habits established during Practice Palooza and extend them for entire year until the next Practice Palooza ends on March 17, 2011. Your instructor has calendars for recording each day's work.
Practice Palooza Year Rules:
1. Just as in Practice Palooza, students are given one 'oops day'
per month when they are unable to practice.
2. Because of the long duration of this club, students are given an
additional three weeks in which they will be excused from practice
one or more days during each of these weeks. These weeks are not
permitted to be taken successively, or back to back. There are many
reasons why a student may have to use one of these weeks as an
incomplete practice week, such as family vacation, holidays,
illnesses, or just an extremely busy time of year with extra-
curricular events. If you use one of these additional 'oops weeks',
simply record the date of each day during that week that you missed
on the lines provided on the back of your calendar.
We hope that the routine practice established in Practice Palooza
continues with our year long club!
