SABER BAND

One of the responsibilities of the Legacy High School Band is to support various school activities.  All students are expected to perform at all Saber Band events as part of basic band membership. Participation in Saber Band counts towards a band letter and is part of the overall band grade. The Saber Band performs at all home varsity football games and at select boys and girls basketball events throughout the year.  The events at which the band performs are determined by the band directors in conjunction with the athletic director. Band members will be released after half time of football games and pre-game of the second basketball game.

Saber Band Procedures and Guidelines

The following guidelines are in place to ensure the safety of yours and the school's instruments as well as to provide an environment which is conducive to allowing for a high quality performance:

1. Saber Band attire is the Saber Band t-shirt. It is too be visible at all times during a performance.

2. Good Bands look organized at all times. We want to look good as well as sound good! Behavior in the bleachers at football games & Saber Band events is a vital element of the impression we give the public about our Band program. One of our main functions at athletic events is showing our enthusiastic school spirit and supporting the team at the event we are participating in as performers.

3. Be alert! Watch the game, things happen quickly! Be prepared to play the school song after each football-touchdown is scored.

4. Sit in your section (clarinets together, trumpets together, percussion together, etc.). This will enable us to sound our very best.

5. No gum, candy, soda, or food of any kind is allowed in the band.

6. Friends are not allowed within the band set-up.

7. Keep your eyes to the front.  When the chart has been called, move quickly and be ready for the downbeat. When playing the music, watch the director so that we start and stop together.

8. No individual playing during the game.  We play either as a section or the whole band.

9. You are responsible for bringing your own instrument, music, lyre, and pep band shirt to every pep band event.  (Only the tuba and percussion sections do not need a lyre.)

10. Watch your instrument carefully to avoid any damage and handle your equipment only. Never play other people's instrument!

11. For safety and liability reasons, if you need to leave the band for whatever reason, ASK.\

12. Remember that you are a highly visible representative of the LHS Band program at all times, especially in the bleachers!

13. Have fun!

Remember: You are an important part of this team.  As a member of this team, you represent this band as well as this school.  DO NOTHING that will impair the reputation and professionalism of the bands at Legacy High School.
