HS Band Benefits & Requirements '13-'14.pdf - NCSBands

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. (Catie, Michelle,
