Family & Performer Expectations

Performers

At Spectrum Project, we want every performer to feel safe, welcomed, and supported. To help everyone have a successful rehearsal, we ask performers to:
  • Stay with their group and follow staff and buddy directions.
  • Remain in designated rehearsal spaces unless accompanied by a staff member.
  • Use safe bodies and respectful actions with peers and staff.
  • Let a staff member know if they need a break, help, or support.
  • Treat instruments, equipment, and facilities with care.
Support note:
Spectrum Project is an inclusive program. Supports and accommodations are available, and expectations are always applied with flexibility and care for individual needs.
Early pick-up for safety
If a performer’s behavior becomes physically unsafe for themselves, other performers, or staff (for example, hitting, biting, or attempting to leave the building), a parent or guardian may be contacted to pick up the performer early for that day.

Family

 1. Drop-off and pick-up
  • Families drop off performers between 12:45-1:00 PM by signing them in at the front table and walking them to their first rehearsal room..
  • During rehearsal, performers are supervised by Spectrum Project staff and buddies.
2. Parent presence
  • To support consistency and independence, families do not stay in rehearsal spaces unless arranged in advance with the coordinator.
3. Food and drinks
  • Only water is permitted inside the school during rehearsal (per school policies).
4. Safety and leaving the building
  • For safety reasons, performers must remain inside the rehearsal area unless accompanied by staff.
5. Staff directions
  • Staff may intervene when safety or well-being is involved.
6. Communication concerns
  • If a family has a concern, they should contact the coordinator (Kevin Droe) directly rather than addressing staff during rehearsal time.
7. Behavior and support
  • Spectrum Project is an inclusive program and staff are trained to support a wide range of needs.
