Class Expectations and Grading
As band is a performance-based class, participation and preparation make up a large portion of your grade. Please come prepared to rehearsal and lessons; bring all your things and have put in some practice time.
Attendance is expected at all lessons, rehearsals, and performances. Every person is an important part of the band - there is no bench or second string. We play our best when everyone is here.
Required Equipment and Supplies
Students must have an instrument in good repair, necessary accessories, a pencil, and music at every rehearsal. Percussionists are responsible for having their own stick bag with sticks and mallets. Please refer to our Recommended Supply List for details.
Clarinet and saxophone players are expected to have at least three good reeds at all times. Oboe players should have two good reeds. Supplies may be purchased from the band office or any area music store.
Concert Attire
Black pants or knee-length skirt, black dress shirt or blouse, black socks, and black shoes. Please no thin straps, short skirts, or open-toed shoes. Leggings are not dressy pants.
For some performances, we may opt for more of a "business casual" look instead of concert black. This means slacks, polos/button-down shirts/blouses, knee-length skirts, and covered shoulders. Thanks for helping us look as good as we sound!
