Donations Needed Marching Band 2019-2020 - Here is the Marching Band calendar for 2019-2020. 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 14th, please email Mr. Fisk (mfisk@tustin.k12.ca.us) to make sure you are on the list. Calendar Letter 1 - English/Spanish Band Camp (7/26-8/7) - Band camp starts on July 26th with all of the leaders. The first day for all members is on Monday, July 29th. 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 20th, 31st, August 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 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 (8/31) - Orientation for all parents of incoming Marching Band and Colorguard students is on July 31st from 7:00pm-8:00pm. 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. Uniform Distribution (8/1-8/6) - 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 Booster Meeting (8/7) - Our first booster meeting of the year is on August 7th at 7:00pm. Booster 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) Marching Band Rehearsals - There are a total of about 29 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 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. Sectionals - Sectionals happen after school once every other week for 9 weeks. Each student will end up attending 5 sectionals during marching season. Students are required to attend sectionals. Welcome Back Assembly (8/23) - The Band students will be playing at this assembly. They will need to miss 4th period that day. Students must wear their red member shirt for the assembly. Home Football Game (8/23) - This is our first home game of the year. 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. Only the parents who have signed up to help will be let in for free. All others need to go to the front and pay to get in. Theory Assignments - These assignments will be given about every other week for musicians starting on August 26th. 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. Away (Foothill) Football Game (8/30) - During this away game we will still be on the home field, but we will be on the away side. We are playing Foothill High School so their will be a lot of people. The band will wear their red member shirt, closed toed shoes, and blue jeans. We will not be performing a halftime during the game. Listening Day - 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. Back to School Night (9/4) - The Jazz Band will be performing for Back to School Night. This will be a quick performance. More information will following soon. Home Football Game (9/5) - 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. 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. 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.
