7th & 8th Grade Band Syllabus
2016-2017
Rehearsals: 1 pt. per successful rehearsal. Be prompt & prepared, we only have 2 a week so every rehearsal is important.I will take attendance when the bell rings. [tardy policy is below]
Sectional: 20 pts. Sectionals now take the place of lessons. They’re on a 3 week rotation,(percussion, brass, woodwinds), Monday for 8th grade, Tuesday for 7th grade. They will be extremely important for improving you as musicians, and for getting the band together. If you miss your sectional, you can make it up during a different group.
Performance: 50 pts. Per performance. The performance is our “final test” it's what we work hard to prepare for every rehearsal. Attendance is mandatory!
Home Practice: 10 pts. per every 60 min. practiced. 60 mins. each week and you will be a star!
Horn Home: your instrument MUST leave the school EVERY weekend & break. (forgetting once a quarter will be forgiven).
