1 Sinton Band Program Guidelines & Rules Mission Statement The Sinton Band Program strives to maintain the goal of excellence and to promote music as an art through strong commitment, dedication, and attempting to achieve their best at all times. The Pirate Band s aim is to teach students to enjoy making music and to appreciate music as well as to showcase their musical talents. Band members are expected to act in accordance to the Pirate Band's guiding principles. Guiding Principles: A. Working together as a Team. B. Promoting school spirit and developing high morale. C. Showing good sportsmanship and teaching self-discipline. D. Striving for excellence and quality in everything we do. E. Being consistent with Sinton I.S.D. educational standards and goals. Why Band? Learning music and playing in the band is a meaningful and gratifying experience for all people of all ages. Music study demands discipline, creativity, cooperation, and perseverance. Many researchers now believe that music trains the brain for higher forms of thinking. Developing these skills early in life helps children succeed in school, in society, and in life. They learn to practice, to communicate, and to work together. And they learn a stimulating, rewarding activity that will enhance the rest of their lives. Practicing music reinforces teamwork, communication skills, self-discipline, and the creativity qualities kids need to be successful in their other school work and in life. Playing in the band is a great way to make friends. Sinton Pirate Band The Sinton Pirate Band is known for their excellence and is considered one of the finest public school bands in South Texas. The Pirate Band has a winning tradition of Sweepstakes in (UIL) University Interscholastic League competitions in Marching, Concert, Sight-reading, Region Band, All State Band, and Solo Ensemble contest.

3 E.M. Smith Beginner 6 th Grade Band Prerequisite: none Grade: 6 Membership in the beginner band is open to all 6 th grade students who express an interest in the band program. Course Description This course is designed to teach students about general music and to play a band instrument. Basic Music Theory and Instrument Training will be incorporated into daily lessons. Students will be assessed in both written and performance format. Course of Study Basic Fundamentals - Proper posture and breathing - Proper embouchure formation - Proper assembly of the instrument - Proper hand position Tonal Development - Characteristic Qualities of Sound - Fine muscle development for increasing endurance Technical Development - Beginning Note/Rest Values and Notation - Beginning Major Scale/Rudiment exercises - Articulations Nuances - Basic Dynamic Notation and control - Beginning Tempo Variations
4 Intonation Recruitment - Beginning Listening Responsibilities as an Individual Performer - Beginning Intonation exercises. A recruitment program will be scheduled in early May for all 5 th grade students which will include a presentation of instruments and information of the Sinton Band Program sent home for parents. Students must have the written consent of their parent or guardian to enroll in band. Instrumentation The beginning band instruments are: flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, baritone, tuba, and percussion. Percussion students will be expected to learn all instruments in the percussion family not limited to snare drum, bass drum, bells, and etc. A percentage of instrumentation in the beginner band program will be determined by the band director based on the 6 th grade enrollment. It is extremely important to limit the number of students beginning on each instrument in order to achieve a proper balance of instrumentation in the band program. Students will be tested in brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments during the first two weeks of school. The decision over what the student will play will be based on the student s first two choices, the embouchure test including teeth formation and physical characteristics of the student. Students who wish to be tested on percussion will be tested on a rhythmic competency test. A score of one thru ten will be used to score the student tested on each instrument with the high score determining what instrument will be best suited for the student. For a beginner student, nothing is more frustrating than trying to learn an instrument for which they are not physically suited. A band drive will be scheduled the week after the testing has been completed to give pare nts an opportunity to conference with the Band Director and the music store to see the different options for purchasing an instrument for their child. The following school instruments will be available on a one time rental fee: bass clarinet, tenor saxop hone, French horn, trombone, baritone, and tuba. If you plan to shop around for a used instrument, please ask the seller if they will agree to allow us to check the instrument before purchasing it. A non-working horn will only slow the students progress. The following name brand instruments are recommended for purchase: Flute - Yamaha, Armstrong or Giendhart Clarinet - Selmer, bundy, Jupiter, Yamaha or Vito Saxophone - Conn, Selmer, Buescher, Jupiter or Yamaha Trumpet - Conn, King, Jupiter, Bach, or Yamaha Trombone - Conn, King, Bundy, or Yamaha
5 Percussionists will need to purchase a practice pad, pair of sticks and a bell kit. Switching Instruments Students may request and submit in writing to the band director to change to a different instrument at the end of their 6 th grade year. Student must complete the following criteria: Student must purchase the instrument he/she desires to change. Student must take a minimum of 15 one hour private lessons outside school district from a certified music teacher at the expense of the student. Student must show a signed document of each completed lesson and must be turned in to the band director at the end of each lesson. Student must play the instrument learned in 6 th grade band while enrolled in the 7 th grade band. At this time, the band director and the private teacher will evaluate the student s progress before being allowed to switch instrument. The student must perform at the same level as others in the 7 th grade band in order to completely switch over to the desired instrument. Student may switch instruments with the approval of the band director, if an instrument cross references another instrument: Such instruments are Clarinet-Bass clarinet, Alto Saxophone- Tenor Saxophone, Trombone-Baritone, Tuba-Baritone, and Bb Horn-Trumpet.

11 Sinton High School Band Program Guidelines Prerequisite: High School Band is available to any 8th grade band student entering high school that has previous junior high band training and has tested to achieve the proper level of performance, level of ability, and meets all requirements, responsibilities and Director s approval Tested material criteria: Fundamentals: sixteen notes, quarter notes, half notes, dotted half notes & whole notes Scales: B-flat, E-flat, A-flat and Chromatic scale Sophomores, juniors, and seniors must re-enroll each year and meet all requirements, responsibilities and Director s approval. REQUIREMENTS AND RESONSIBILITES Band is considered a full year course, and students who participate during the first semester must also participate during the second semester. Students will not be allowed to enroll in band for only the first semester or for the second semester. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the band director and the high school principal. Quality in a band program is built upon the continuous participation and dedication of its members over a long period of time. Each individual in the band relies on all of the others to do their part in making the group the best it can be. From the moment a student starts band as a sixth grade beginner until he graduates high school, his degree of musicianship and understanding of dedication and teamwork increase dramatically each year. For a student to miss participating in band for even as little as one semester will put him or her extremely far behind and may jeopardize the overall quality of the Sinton Pirate Band upon his or her return. Therefore, any student who chooses not to participate in band during a school year or who is dismissed from the band program by the director for grades or disciplinary reasons will not be allowed to rejoin the band organization at any time during the remainder of their school career. A band member is expected to exercise a high level of self-discipline and cooperation with directors, chaperones, drum majors, officers, and fellow band members at all times. A student will not be allowed to enroll if he or she receives five (5) office referrals in one semester for disciplinary reasons. (All school rules and student code of conduct are in effect regardless of the location)
12 Eligibility A band member is expected to maintain high standards and excellence in band and in academics. If a band member fails to maintain eligibility or a satisfactory conduct grade, he or she will be unable to practice or perform outside band class. Students who fail one or more classes every sixweek during a semester will be placed on a one semester probationary period. During the semester probationary period, if the student fails to regain eligibility, the student will be dismissed from the band program. Attendance Attendance at regularly scheduled rehearsals, sectionals and performances is required for membership in the band program. Absences are permitted in the event OF PERSONAL ILLNESS OR DEATH IN THE FAMILY. The Sinton Band performs in competitions, concerts, half-time shows, parades, and other special events throughout the year. Many hours of preparation go into each performance, and each band member relies on all the others to do their part to make the performance the best it can be. It is extremely important to the success of the entire band that EVERY MEMBER participates in EVERY performance. Rehearsals will be scheduled to enable the full band to rehearse together. Conflicts with other activities will be considered when scheduling rehearsals; however, it is the band members responsibility to resolve any conflicts prior to scheduling. Failure to appear at a scheduled practice or appearance without proper notice will result in suspension from the performing group and a reduction of grade for that grading period. It is impossible to make up a performance, and the other members carry an extra burden because of someone else s absence. Excessive absences or tardiness from rehearsals may cause the student to become and alternate or may be dismissed from the band program. In case of emergency of sudden illness before and after school rehearsals or performance, please call the band office and leave a message: (361) Please see calendar for all events and performances.
