Band Rules

Three times without an instrument or music will result in the loss of half a letter grade. Participation is your responsibility to the whole group; please take it seriously.

Practice Journal. Parent signature required. Due the end of each nine week period.

Phone Assignments are due on time. Grades will be reduced for tardiness.

7-8th grade Band members are to have Standard of Excellence #3.

7-12th grade Band members need a black 3-ring binder with clear protective sheets. Cardigans for 9-12 only.

Fund-Raisers.  Because the cost of a school music program is considerable, a material fee of $50 per semester per student is required by the delivery date of each fundraiser. In an effort to provide an option to the material fee, band members selling 10 or more kits for each fundraiser will have met their payment. Those selling fewer than 10 kits will be charged $5 per kit. Example: 7 kits sold, 10-7 = 3, 3 x $5 = $15 charged.

A $100.00 fee is due at the beginning of the year for school owned instruments. Family Accounts will be charged automatically if not paid by the end of September.

Dress Code varies for occasion and season. The usual attire for ladies/men are white blouses/shirts, black uniform skirts/pants, black tie men, black hose ladies, dark shoes, Cardigans for concerts & performances, no medals for competition.

9-12th Band members need a Sabine Metrotune MT9000 tuner (about $35.00) and can be ordered from the band office on the first day of school.
