REQUIREMENTS<br />
<strong>Band</strong> consists of sectionals and rehearsals, home practice, and assessments.<br />
I understand that to benefit from the program, the following are required:<br />
An instrument in top working condition. Student &/or parents are responsible for<br />
maintaining their instrument. Most rental agreements provide for free repairs<br />
and/or replacement.<br />
Rehearsals meet during the school day. A grade is taken for nearly every<br />
rehearsal based upon rehearsal behavior and skill development.<br />
Practicing at home, and preferably in a consistent time and place, with the CD,<br />
the iPAS software, SmartMusic, iPAD, or smart phone to master content for the<br />
week. Practicing brings amazing success, self-confidence, joy, and benefits.<br />
Assessments. All rehearsals, instruction, and practicing lead to performance. If<br />
the student has not done their part to practice, the performance will be a source<br />
of regret, and disappointment. If the student has practiced, assessments will be a<br />
celebration and demonstrate of skills gained while giving valuable experiences.<br />
Assessments happen in class and at special performances outside of class time.<br />
I understand band requires a yearlong commitment. The year’s planned<br />
performances are:<br />
