Performing ARts Graduation Requirements

To graduate with a High School Diploma in the State of Florida, students must meet the following requirements related to Performing Arts:

• 1.0 Credit in Performing Arts, Fine Arts, or eligible CTE courses

All of the courses found on this page fulfill this requirement.

Participation in the following Performing Arts programs can provide students with substitutions or waivers for the 0.5 PE Elective Requirement.

• 1 semester in the Lake Brantley Marching Patriots (if used for this, cannot be applied to the 1.0 credit of Performing/Fine Arts requirement)

The Color Guard is the official Visual Auxiliary for the Lake Brantley Marching Patriots. As such, Color Guard Members are held to the same standards as the other performers.

The Lake Brantley Band has a rich history of superior musicianship, unmatched camaraderie, outstanding school spirit, and unique memory-making experiences found nowhere else! Whether you're a passionate performer, aspiring composer, or just looking for a place to make life-long friends, the Lake Brantley Band is a big family ready to welcome you!

All students in the Lake Brantley Band should understand the following expectations:

• There are several major time commitments:

  • • Afterschool rehearsals

    • Evening and weekend performances

    • Performances off-campus, sometimes out of state

    • Individual at-home practice is required

• All students participate in Marching Band Season, July - November, including:

  • • Summer Band Camp

    • Afterschool rehearsals 2-3 days a week

    • Performances at all Home and Away Football Games

    • Participation in the Seminole Marching Band Festival

• Important Note: One of the greatest strengths of the Lake Brantley Band is that students are encouraged to participate in other campus activities, including athletics, other performing arts, and leadership and service groups. Each year we even have multiple varsity football players who play in the first half of each game, then grab their instruments, perform the halftime show in their jerseys, and head back into the game and play the second half! Students who have other obligations are not expected to prioritize Band, but they are expected to coordinate with the directors and manage their time responsibly.

• Students are required to pay annual participation fees and engage in fundraising to support Band/Color Guard activities.

• There are standards for behavior and personal grooming required of all participants to create a cohesive, high-performing ensemble.
