All band members are expected to wear ALL BLACK, LONG BLACK for our concerts. For men, that means a black shirt (long sleeve preferred), black pants, black socks, and black shoes (Bandos work well for this). Ladies can wear a black top and black slacks, a black top and a long black skirt, or a long black dress. Black shoes are also required for ladies. "Long black" applies to sleeves and skirt/dress length.

NEED TO MISS AN AFTER-SCHOOL REHEARSAL?
NEED TO MISS AN AFTER-SCHOOL REHEARSAL?
Don't forget to let Mr. Carter know! The best way is to text the Band Hotline: (912) 549-0262. You can also email Mr. Carter at hank.carter@screven.k12.ga.us, or send a message via Remind. It is NOT good enough to tell a friend, "Hey, I won't be there because of ____." You need to TELL MR. CARTER DIRECTLY.
MASKS and SCREENING
MASKS and SCREENING
DURING BAND CLASS: Masks are required as you enter the band area, while you are in the instrument storage room (lockers), and at the start of band class. Go directly to your assigned seat in class. Obviously, you will need to remove your mask in order to play (except percussion). Put your mask back on if another section is working. Masks must be put on when we pack up at the end of class.
AFTER SCHOOL: Just like during band camp, masks should be worn at the start of rehearsal, during transitions, and at dismissal. Now that we are starting our regular after-school routine, we will not be doing screening/temperature checks before practice. Please stay home if you are sick. Please go home if you get sick during the school day.
