FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (and answers!):
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (and answers!):
Q: Can I wear blue jeans for marching band outdoor rehearsals after school?
A: NO. Marching Band is an athletic activity, and blue jeans are not appropriate wear.
Q: What SHOULD I wear for marching band?
A: A comfortable t-shirt/top, shorts, and athletic shoes with socks. Shoulders and belly buttons must be covered. You’ll be most comfortable with a hat and sunglasses.
Q: What do I need to bring to marching band rehearsal?
A: Always have your dot sheet (in a plastic sleeve, with a lanyard around your neck), a pencil, and your instrument/equipment. Most people like to bring WATER, sunscreen, and bug spray.
Q: What do I do if I need to miss a rehearsal?
A: Contact Mr. Carter. The best way to do that is by email at hank.carter@screven.k12.ga.us. (Guard members may contact Mr. von Waldner instead.) Do NOT ask another student to tell us.
Q: What is our rehearsal schedule? Is the band playing at the football game? What time do I need to be at school? Etc. etc.?
A: All of this (and much, much more!) can be found on the band's Google Calendar. Scroll up to see the calendar; scroll down to find out how you can link it to your own Google stuff.
Q: Do you have an extra copy of the Performer Contract?
A: Of course! Click here: 2019 SCHS Band Performer Contract
