Marching Band 2020 - Here is the Marching Band calendar for 2020-2021. I am also attaching the letter that is being sent home to all of the students signed up for band and Colorguard. If you do not receive the letter by June 30th, please email Mr. Fisk (mfisk@tustin.k12.ca.us) to make sure you are on the list. At this point the calendar is finalized. We will be making adjustments to the schedule as needed. The district office will give us direction. I will be updating here on the website as I know more. Plan on checking the website throughout the summer for the updated information.
Calendar (Updated 5/8/20) Letter(English) Letter(Spanish) Band Camp - Band camp starts on July 27th with all of the leaders. The first day for all members is on Tuesday, July 28th. Returning members are to be there from 9:00am-12:00pm. All new members need to be there from 1:00pm-4:00pm. Band Camp is held at Tustin High School in room 603. During Lunch and Dinner breaks, the students will be on their own. Band Camp full days are July 29th through August 7th. Those days are from 9:00am-8:00pm. The break down for those days are the following: 9:00am-12:00pm - Morning Block 12:00pm-1:00pm - Lunch 1:00pm-4:00pm - Afternoon Block 4:00pm-5:00pm - Dinner 5:00pm-8:00pm - Evening Block New Parent Orientation (7/29) - This orientation is for all parents of incoming Marching Band and Colorguard students. Marching band is a very involved activity for students and we want to make sure that the new parents have all of the information to better help them understand the process. The meeting will be located in the band room (603), which is in the back of the campus on July 29th at 6:00pm. Map Booster/Parent Meeting (7/29) - Our first booster/parent meeting of the year is on July 29th at 7:00pm. Booster/parent meetings last about an hour. Meetings are held in the band room and all parents who have students in the Marching Band and Colorguard are invited to attend. Booster meetings are generally held on the first Wednesday of the month. See the schedule below at the bottom of the page. Agenda - (English - Spanish) Uniform Check Out (7/31-8/4) - We are in need of some parent volunteers to help fit students for the upcoming Marching Band season. If you are willing and available, please email volunteers@tustinhsmusic.com with the date you are able to help. We need 4-7 volunteers to make this work. Thanks in advance for all your time and efforts! Sign-ups Graduation (8/6) - Graduation for the last year's seniors is on August 6th at 6:00pm on the Tustin High School’s football field. All Advanced Band students will be playing in this. This will not include any new members. We will have a practice on August 5th from 9:00am-12:00pm. Call time for the graduation is 5:00pm. Graduation attendance is only open to the parents of the graduating senior class. The dress is concert black. Marching Band Rehearsals - There are a total of about 27 rehearsals from the middle of August (when school starts) to the end of November (when Marching season ends). All rehearsals are mandatory. If every student only misses 1 rehearsal we would have about 3 students missing every rehearsal which would not make the season successful. Please make sure that you put all of the rehearsals on your calendar. Sectionals - Sectionals happen after school once every other week for 10 weeks. Each student will end up attending 5 sectionals during marching season. Students are required to attend sectionals. Listening - There are 5 listening days a semester. Students will listen to a piece of music and will answer questions when the listening is done. These assignments are during class, and students should not have to take it home and work on it. If the student is absent they will have 1 week to make it up on their own. Welcome Back Assembly (8/28) - The Band students will be playing at this assembly. This will take place during 4th period. Students must wear their red member shirt for the assembly. Home Football Game (8/28) - This is our first home game of the year. We are playing Foothill High School so their will be a lot of people. Call time for students is 6:00pm in the band room. We will be heading over to the stadium not too long after that as a group. The game starts at 7:00pm and is over around 9:30pm. Theory - These assignments will be given about every other week for musicians starting on August 31st. Each unit contains 5 lessons and at the end every student will be given a test on all of the lessons learned in their theory. If the student passes their theory final they will progress to the next theory level. Assignments are given on Monday and are due on Friday. Back to School (9/2) - The Jazz Band will be performing for Back to School Night. This will be a quick performance. More information will following soon. Playing Tests - All musicians will be given a sheet that will have to be completed by the end of the semester. Each student will have an individual private test with the director in his office. The grading system consists of the numbers 1-5 in which the student will need to get at least a 3. In order to advance onto the next playing packet you must pass all the playing tests on your paper. Skill Assessments - All guard student will be given a sheet that will have to be completed by the end of the semester. Each student will have a small group test with the director. The grading system consists of the numbers 1-5 in which the student will need to get at least a 3. In order to advance onto the next playing packet you must pass all the playing tests on your paper. Donation Campaign (9/8-9/22) - The students will be participating in an online donation campaign. Students will be asking family and friends to make donations. More information will come out as we get closer. Booster Meeting/Parent Performance Showcase (9/9) - On Wednesday, September 9th, we are inviting all parents to meet in the cafeteria at 7:00pm. There will be a short booster meeting. Cake will be served in the cafeteria for all parents. Then, we will all walk over to the stadium together to watch a short performance to show what the students have learned so far and talk about Marching Band. The performance will be over at 8:30pm. (Students need to wear their red member shirts to rehearsal that day.) Agenda - (English - Spanish) Home Football Game (9/11) - This is our next home game of the year.
