8 Performance Preparation and Expectations Band Rehearsals and Performances Concert Band and Wind Ensemble Rehearsals will be held on campus at School of the Arts. See attached schedule! Adequate notification of changes will be given so transportation can be arranged. Band members are required to attend ALL rehearsals and to participate in a functional way at all performances. This is part of the performance grade. Missing a rehearsal or performance will result in a grade of Zero (0). Band members are expected to be prompt to all rehearsals and performances. On time is late. Early is on time. There are no excuses acceptable, short of a major catastrophe or death in the family, for missing a major performance. All concerts and any other performance events are considered major performance events. Missing a major performance event without a valid, acceptable reason will have a significant impact on the grade for that quarter in band. Band members are expected to be present for rehearsal if they are present for school. Please arrange other important appointments and activities around the rehearsal schedule. When an absence is anticipated, the director must be notified in writing in advance of the date. Every effort should be made to make medical appointments at times not in conflict with the band rehearsal schedule as the absence of one band member affects the entire group. Unexcused tardiness will result in disciplinary action. SEE THE BAND CALENDAR! Conduct Expectations 1
9 Personal Appearance Band members will be well groomed at all times when they appear in any uniformed band function (shirts tucked in, hair combed, good shoes, etc.). Students are to remain in full uniform until the director instructs the band otherwise. Parents, please help supervise this at concerts. Band Uniforms All band members are expected to wear the band uniform approved by the Band Booster Board. Students out of uniform WILL NOT PERFORM at concerts at school or other venues. This will result in a grade of Zero (0). Casual uniform Band shirt long pants, no SHORTS (unless outside performance) Formal uniform Boy s uniform is a full tuxedo with red bow tie and red cummerbund. Girl s uniform is the middle school band uniform black dress with red sash. All students will need all-black socks or hose and All black shoes for the formal uniform. Conduct Expectations 2
10 Conduct Expectations Because of the nature of the organization, band discipline must be strict! Band students and parents must believe in the ideals, principles, and rules of the organization. Each member must always be aware of good behavior and think for himself. Any misconduct casts a bad light on the school, community, and band program. Any member who casts discredit on the organization by his/her conduct or actions in band, in another class, or on a trip may face discipline within the program, including the possibility of dismissal from band field trips and any out-of-town trips. This decision will be at the director's discretion. Severe improper conduct shall be grounds for immediate disciplinary action, which may include dismissal from the School of the Arts Middle School Band Program. Examples of such behavior include, but are not limited to: committing a theft or taking any type of drug (including alcohol and tobacco) while on a band trip. BAND TRIPS ARE NOT DATING EVENTS. Public displays of affection (including holding hands) are not appropriate. Theft and vandalism are cause for immediate disciplinary action, which may include dismissal from band and possible suspension from school. Damages or loss will be the sole responsibility of the thief or vandal. This includes but is not limited to school-owned property. Students are subject to the rules of the school and Charleston County School District Policies. Students should never leave their instruments unattended at school, on the bus, at the bus stop, or any other place where they could be vandalized. Conduct Expectations 3
