Marching Band Rehearsals - There are a total of about 27 rehearsals from 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 4 students missing every rehearsal which would not make the season successful. Please make sure that you put all of the rehearsals on your calendar.
Marching Band Sectionals - Sectionals happen after school once every other week for 8 weeks. Each student will end up attending 4 sectionals during marching season. Students are required to attend sectionals. Restaurant Night - We have monthly restaurant nights. These are event where a restaurant will donate a percentage of what you spend. Most of the time you will need a flyer. Our next restaurant is set. It will be at Jalapenos on August 23rd all day. I have attached a flyer. Welcome Back Assembly (8/24) - The Band students will be playing at this assembly. They will not need to miss class since the assembly is during 4th period. Students must wear their red member shirt for the assembly. Home Football Game (8/24) - 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 27th. 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. 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. Playing Test - 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 Assessment - 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. Parent Performance Showcase/Booster Meeting (9/5) - We will be doing something new this year for the Parent Performance Showcase. On Wednesday, September 5th, we are inviting all parents to meet in the cafeteria at 7:00pm. 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. After the performance, we invite all parents back to the cafeteria for a booster meeting while the students finish their rehearsal which is over at 8:30pm. Cake will be served in the cafeteria for all parents. (Students need to wear their red member shirts to rehearsal that day.) Agenda Back to School (9/6) - The Jazz Band will be performing for Back to School Night. This will be a quick performance. More information will following in late August. Homecoming Assembly (9/28) - The Band students will be playing at this assembly. They will not need to miss class since the assembly is during 4th period. Students must wear their red member shirt for the assembly. Home Football Game (9/28) - The call time is 6:00pm. The game starts at 7:00pm and should be over by around 9:30pm. Tonight is homecoming. We will be performing at pregame, but will not be performing a halftime show. Run-A-Thon (9/29) - The Run-A-Thon takes place on September 29th in which all Band and Colorguard members participate. Each student will be given a sheet to get as many pledges for the run-a-thon. Sponsors that choose to pledge for the student can give a donation per lap or give a flat rate. If the student doesn’t get any pledges they will still have to participate in the run-a-thon. Pledge Sheet Dry Mix Day (9/29) - Parents can participate to help make the mix for the funnel cakes which also takes place on September 29th. The mix will be used for the funnel cake fundraiser on Tiller Days. We will need around 12 parents to participate on this day. Sign-ups will be on the booster page.
