Band Leadership

What is Band Leadership, and what will it look like? 

Band Leadership are just like other groups or clubs at the school that have leadership positions. They are people who will assist in the band by doing things that might be similar to what the Student Government might do. They will run class when Ms. Shinney is gone, they will help other students as needed, they will assist Ms. Shinney, they will be a leader to other students in the band, and they will help support students in other ensembles than them. (Beginning Band!) Band Leadership is expected to be at every band event (concerts), promote positivity and unity in the band, be responsible for themselves and their committees, and more. 

What can I do if I want to be a leader, but I don't make it?

That's awesome! We love having students who help the band in all kinds of ways. Anyone can join each of the committees which are lead by one of the band leadership and Ms. Shinney. Each committee will hopefully have at least two members. 

Here are the committees: 

• Good-Vibes Committee

  • Helps to spread positivity in the band by writing positive messages to students, voting for outstanding musicians, and more. 

• Principle Committee

  • Helps students to remember rules by setting a good example, makes sure that the band room is always clean and organized, helping enforce class procedures such as stacking stands and chairs. 

• Recruiting Committee

  • Helps to get more students in band by representing the band well throughout the school, recruiting students at Orion to join band, and helping Ms. Shinney at recruiting events for incoming 7th graders. 

• Fundraiser/Community Outreach Committee

  • Helps to promote the band, especially by helping run the yearly band fundraiser by making sure everyone contributes, helping advertise, and helping in whatever way they can.
