News
Important Update The following message was sent by social media on Friday, July 17th. Dear Marching Band & Colorguard Students: We hope this finds you and yours well. In light of the complications of the COVID pandemic and the requirements from the state and our school district, we are cancelling summer band camp at Foothill, Tustin, and Beckman High School. We will be evaluating and responding to the situation as we know more. We are currently working with field competition schedules, parade schedules, and CIF athletic schedules as well as TUSD & state guidelines. We will be communicating information as soon as we know anything. We look forward to returning to our marching bands in person as soon as it is safe for our students to do so. However, regardless of the way we open up the school year, we are ready to provide a high quality music experience. We look forward to working with all of our students starting on August 13. Have a safe and relaxing end of the summer. Matt Bausman, Director, Beckman High School Michael Fisk, Director, Tustin High School Jim Kollias, Director, Beckman High School Tim Thomas, Director, Foothill High School We do not know exactly what this season or this year will look like. We will try to seize every opportunity to make music. At this point going forward, all after-school rehearsals, football games, and performances are suspended. I will share an update to the calendar as soon as we get closer to being able to open the school, have rehearsals, and performances. Make sure to follow us on social media, check our website, and keep an eye out for emails with the latest and most up-to-date information. Thank you for your support and understanding. I look forward to starting this school year and hope to be making music with all of you soon. 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. 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. |
