We are taking a Spring break trip this year. Two of our players are also in chorus which is taking a trip to New Orleans over the same dates.
Is the chorus a high school course? Have they been in the chorus since the beginning of the year? Or this semester?
The chorus is also a team, and it likely doesn't have bench singers. The players may be more important to the chorus than to the baseball team. And, suppose that the chorus director decided to "cut" the players from her team. Would those players get an "F" in chorus?
If the chorus has been together since before baseball season, it seems to me that the players have a prior commitment, and in order to not let down the chorus, they have to go with the chorus.
I'd be inclined to excuse the absence. It shouldn't be too hard to give the whole team a good rationale. Of course, maybe I don't see it correctly: I'm neither a coach or a chorus director!
