Course Objectives High school students participating in class as instructed will be able to: Read, notate, compose, arrange, improvise and perform music from different genres and diverse cultures with others and as a soloist. Understand the relationships among music, the arts and other disciplines (such as math, history, geography, science, and culture).

Materials Standard of Excellence Enhanced Band Method Book vol. 3 Standard of Excellence Music CD iPAS software SmartMusic (optional) Supplemental music (provided) A band instrument in top playing condition, accessories, and a pencil Percussion: drum sticks, timpani mallets (medium), hard rubber bell mallets, all in a stick bag marked with your name Saxes & clarinets: 4 working reeds at all times Brass: valve oil &/or slide grease Rules Rules for you 1) Be on time. (In your seat with materials ready when the bell rings or the beginning of class indicated by the clock or director.) In the professional music world “early” is on-time, “on-time” is late and “late” is fired.
2) Be prepared for class. Be ready to learn, perform, and/or test. The material to be covered for each day's rehearsal will be on the board. Prepare this material as soon as possible after your warm-up. Do bellwork. 3) Be respectful; follow the rules with a positive attitude. No hats, no electronic devices (they can be taken away on first sight), no gum, food or drinks (except water). No complaining (education is a privilege). 4) Complete assignments on time. Rules for you and others 1) Keep your hands, feet, (your appendages) and belongings to yourself. 2) No talking at the wrong time. Raise your hand. Wait for permission to speak. Volunteer and participate. 3) Use kind words only. No putdowns, teasing, or harassment. Work as an encouraging group member (team player). Who are you? 4) Do not disrupt class in any way. No talking at the wrong times. 5) Use bathroom between classes. Each student has at least 50 minutes each day for personal use (water, bathroom, lunch). Bathroom usage during class is restricted to emergency usage only. Students must sign out to use the restroom. Rules for you and the teacher 1) Follow directions immediately without complaining. 2) Raise your hand and wait for permission to speak. I love to hear what you would like to say, and I want to honor you by giving you the opportunity to speak when it is quiet so we can hear you. Do not speak out of turn. 3) Use kind words only. 4) Volunteer and participate. The more you do this the greater your progress. 5) The instructor, not the bell, dismisses class. Consequences for not following rules: verbal warning, ineligibility for awards, lowered daily grade (noted on Edline), lunch detention, contact of parents, referral, parent conference, ineligibility from special events, removal from class. Consequences for following the rules: excellent grades, excellent progress, excellent rapport with teacher, respect of students, excellent satisfaction, enjoyment and fun in music, excellent personal results, development of virtue, possible rewards and awards, notification to parents, eligibility for special events and additional future opportunities in and out of music. Students who demonstrate and maintain responsibility and maturity may gain additional privileges after first quarter. A great attitude brings success for the individual and the group.
