Rehearsal Intermissions. Intermission for all two (2) hour rehearsals shall commence within the half-hour period which begins forty-five (45) minutes after the start of the rehearsal. Intermission for all two and one-half (2½) hour rehearsals shall be scheduled so that no portion of a rehearsal, including overtime, shall exceed one (1) hour thirty (30) minutes without intermission except as provided in the next two (2) paragraphs and Section 8.3(a). For each half-hour of rehearsal overtime, there shall be a five (5) minute intermission to be taken during the period of overtime or during the last fifteen (15) minutes of regular rehearsal time. Intermission for all two (2) or two and one-half (2 ½) hour rehearsals will be fifteen (15) minutes in length. A grace period of up to three (3) minutes will be permitted during Subscription and Sommerfest rehearsals, without payment of overtime, at the end of the first half of rehearsal to be used only to complete the work being rehearsed. This grace period will not change the length of the break or total length of the rehearsal, but cause the break to begin up to three (3) minutes later. At the conductor's discretion, any two and one-half (2½) hour rehearsal may be extended beyond the one (1) hour and thirty (30) minute limit without intermission, provided that such rehearsal ends after no more than one (1) hour and fifty (50) minutes. Any two (2) hour rehearsal may be extended beyond the one (1) hour and fifteen (15) minute limit without intermission, provided that such rehearsal ends after no more than one (1) hour and thirty (30) minutes.
Rehearsal Intermissions. There shall be one fifteen-minute intermission at each 2-1/2 hour rehearsal to take place at approximately mid-point; however, no single segment of the rehearsal shall be longer than ninety minutes.
