Senior High Band 2025-2026
Senior high band is a time for group learning and playing as an ensemble. We will work on rhythms, scales, tone, sight reading, and music for pep band, marching band, and concert performances. We meet daily during 3rd hour.
Grades: Your grade will come from rehearsal points, performance attendance, and occasional miscellaneous assignments. Rehearsal points will consist of bringing required materials to class, engaging in rehearsal and following classroom rules, and putting instrument and materials away correctly at the end of each class.
Rehearsal points: 3/day = 15/week
Pep band: 10/game
Parades and Concerts: 50/performance
Excused absences are illness, family emergency, or family wedding. Anything else is unexcused.
For pep band, players in the game and cheerleaders are excused.
Performance Attire: Students are required to dress in concert black for performances. Concert black could mean black dress pants with a black button down, a black dress, or other black dress clothes with black shoes. NO BLACK SWEATSHIRTS/SWEATPANTS. NO ATHLETIC WEAR. Extra black pants available, just ask.
