1 McMath Orchestra Handbook School Year Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything. Plato Gina Segapeli Orchestra Director (940) gsegapeli@dentonisd.org
2 Dear McMath Orchestra Parents, Welcome to a new school year full of wonderful possibilities. I am looking forward to this year! I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with your children, and I look forward to having fun making music together! I have put together an orchestra handbook in hopes that you can have all of the information for the school year at your fingertips. It will be available on the website all year long should you need to refer to it. As new information comes up during the year, I will send out s, update the orchestra website, and send flyers home. All parents and students are expected to read the orchestra handbook. It is important that both you and your child understand what is required and expected of a McMath orchestra student. I believe this handbook addresses most of the common questions and concerns regarding participation in orchestra. At the beginning of the school year I encourage you to pay careful attention to the list of required materials, calendar, required performance dress, and the list of orchestra fees. During the first week of school each student will be given the following hand-outs: Orchestra Calendar This calendar is also kept up-to-date on the orchestra website, as dates do sometimes change, and events are added. I will also keep you informed with a newsletter, which will be ed to you monthly.
3 CHARMS Office Instructions Everyone must update their contact information in our online office management program called CHARMS rather than turning in a printed information form. The information on how to access and log in to this system is provided in the handbook. Private Lesson Enrollment We have a wonderful faculty of private instructors who can give individual lessons during the school day. Denton ISD Instrument Usage Policy Applies to Cello and Bass players who are using school instruments. Handbook Signature with Medical Release Form Due August 23 via google doc. (located on website and at the end of the handbook) ***Everyone is also required to turn in their activity fee by September 13th, unless you have made other payment arrangements in advance. I welcome your family to our program. We are a community, and I want you to feel welcome to be a part of our program. Your assistance is welcome! Sincerely, Gina Segapeli Orchestra Director gsegapeli@dentonisd.org (940)

Make certain your child is on time for all school performances and rehearsals. 4. or call your child's teacher, Mrs. Segapeli, with any
6 questions or concerns regarding your child s performance in orchestra class. 5. Attend all concerts and show your enthusiasm for your child s accomplishments. If financially possible, obtain private lessons with a qualified instructor.

11 Fundamentals Weekly Playing Quizzes Technique Exercises Scales Section/Rehearsal Performance Practice Records: Are due to Mrs. Segapeli every Friday In order to succeed as a musician, you must practice! I will provide records for you to keep so you can document your practice throughout the 9 weeks. Consistent practice is a direct reflection of the success you will have in orchestra. School-Owned Instruments (cellos and basses only) Please see the Lease Fee Schedule form at the back of this packet. The fee to use a school-owned instrument at school is $125 per year. You will still need to have an instrument at home, but this eliminates the need to bring the instrument to and from school each day. All checks for instrument usage must be made out to Denton ISD and must be paid before winter break. Phone and Computer Use You may use the orchestra phone to arrange for rides after rehearsals, but always ask permission. Students are not allowed behind the teacher s desk under any circumstances. Students may never use a computer in the classroom without Mrs. Segapeli s permission and must meet the district AUP guidelines. Behavior All policies outlined in the DISD Student Code of Conduct apply to the orchestra classroom. Disruptive behavior in rehearsal will not be tolerated. All students are expected to follow appropriate classroom procedures and rehearsal etiquette. You are also expected to represent the highest level of leadership and good behavior in all your classes, as you are representatives of our
12 orchestra. The consequences of the student not following these responsibilities will be: 1. You will receive a warning to correct the behavior. 2. If the behavior or rule infraction is repeated, I will conference with you and/or your parent. You may also be asked to sit out for a cooling off period, and you may be moved to a different seat. 3. If the behavior or rule infraction is repeated again, you will receive a lunch detention, or an after-school detention. After this occurs, any repeated behavior problems will result in office referrals. 4. Serious disruptions or rule infractions will result in immediate office referral. Attendance and Participation Read through the calendar together and transfer dates onto your family calendar. Some dates may change, but in most cases, they will not. You are responsible to keep up with the schedule. Orchestra performances are test grades. You will receive a grade for the performance, and grade for concert etiquette. If you know you are going to have a conflict in advance, let Ms. Segapeli know immediately so that we can try to come up with a solution. If it is determined that you will be excused from the event, a written note from the parent or guardian must be turned in. You will still need to submit a make-up assignment so that you can receive a grade. If an orchestra event conflicts with another school-sponsored event, the sponsoring teachers will decide what the best solution will be. The student will be fully excused from an event only in the case of illness or emergency situation. Any other type of absence will be considered unexcused. The student will receive two 0 s for the event. Depending on the
13 situation, the student may be allowed to do a make-up assignment. Concert Behavior and Etiquette At concerts, students are expected to conduct themselves in a mature manner and act as professionals would on and off the stage. Audience members are expected to be quiet and remain seated during a performance. At times orchestra students will be in the audience listening to each other. You are expected to set the example in the audience by exhibiting proper behavior. Attire for Concert Orchestra and 6th Grade Groups Concert Black- Black Blouse/top Black Pants/Long Skirt (must touch knees when seated) Black socks, tights, or hose and dressy black shoes Concert attire will be worn at all concerts and UIL competitions unless otherwise informed. Orchestra t-shirts will be worn for String Fling and NRH20.

Fee Structure ACTIVITY FEE $45.00 Activity fee (check written to MMS Orchestra) Your $45 Activity fee covers: Orchestra t-shirt, Theory worksheets, 1 Solo-Ensemble entry fee (student will be
14 responsible for paying accompanists and multiple entries). Each student is given one copy of music each time a new piece of music is assigned throughout the year. Additional copies are not provided! Activity fees are due by September 13th unless payment arrangements have been made with the director. Instrument Usage Fee (for students who are not renting from a company) Checks made out to: DISD $125 all students who play a school owned instrument but do not qualify for free or reduced lunch- reserved for cello and bass $50 all students qualifying for reduced lunch status (District approval letter must be given to Mrs. Segapeli in order to receive reduced lunch fee) $25 all students qualifying for free lunch status (District approval letter must be given to Mrs. Segapeli in order to receive free lunch fee) Payment plan options will be available for Instrument Usage Fees as follows: Parents may opt to pay the fee for the entire year at the beginning of the school or choose one of the options below.

15 Option IV Special arrangements made with the campus director Orchestra T-Shirt Your orchestra T-shirt is paid for by your activity fee. Shirts will be available during the fall semester. Eligibility In order to participate in UIL and off-campus activities (Region, Solo and Ensemble, Spring Trip, UIL, etc.), students must not receive a grade lower than 70 in any class. In other words, students must be passing all courses (70 or above) each six weeks in order to play. Ineligible students will be given alternate assignments during contest preparation time. Fundraising The orchestra will conduct 1 fundraiser per year. Profit from the fundraiser will go directly into the activity fund. This money is used for field trips, contests, music supplies, bus fees, clinicians, and instrument repairs. Students are not required to participate in fundraisers, but encouraged to, since the money benefits all of the students in orchestra. Procedures Rehearsal Etiquette Enter the orchestra room quietly. Take out your instrument, be seated. Have all necessary materials. Check the board for the rehearsal plan; make sure you have all music on your stand. Begin individual warm-up or assignment. When the director or tuning leader stands on the podium and raises his/her hand, you must immediately stop playing and focus your attention quietly to the front of the room. During rehearsal, you must immediately stop playing your instrument when the director stops the orchestra.
16 There is no talking during a rehearsal without permission. You are not to chew gum in any rehearsal or concert. Keep hands away from other people s property or instruments. The Orchestra Room Morning procedures You will be allowed to drop your instrument off at a designated time each morning, usually 5 minutes before the bell. For the safety of your property and our equipment, only orchestra students are allowed in the room. Please ask your friends to wait outside the door. Do not linger in the room; you must drop off your instrument and immediately leave. Failure to follow these procedures can result in loss of morning drop-off privileges for everyone. Afternoon procedures It is expected that you take your instrument home on the days you plan to practice. Instruments may NOT be left over extended holidays. The building may get hot or cold while we re not here, and may cause damage to them. If you are in athletics, make arrangements to get your instrument home. Ask your coaches for a safe place to store your instrument during practice, as the room will be locked when you are done. No food, gum, or drink is to be consumed during an orchestra rehearsal or event other than a water bottle. We don t chew gum while playing our instruments! Lockers You must provide your own lock for your assigned locker. The school cannot furnish locks and your instrument will not be safe
17 without one. Please leave valuable personal items at home. The director and the school are not responsible for lost property. You should only keep your instrument, shoulder rest, rosin, cloth, tape, bottled water, and anything related to the orchestra rehearsal in your orchestra locker. Personal items of any kind are not to be left lying around the room. It is your responsibility to see that your music supplies are labeled with your name and properly put away each day. Your instrument should be going home for practice each day and when it is at school it should always be locked in your instrument locker. Website You may find contact information, and calendar information at the McMath Orchestra website and Charms Office. Please see last page for Charms information. Charms Office Navigate to 1. Locate the PARENT/STUDENT LOGIN section of the web page. 2. Login to your child s program account using the following login: McMathMSOrch 3. This will bring up the main parent page. This will allow you to look at your child s program s public calendar, event list, handouts and other files.

Clicking on event list puts all of the calendar information in a list form for easy printing. When you enter your child s ID NUMBER, another more detailed screen appears with even more options to view your financial records, and forms.
