1 Myers Park High School Orchestra Handbook
2 Welcome! Welcome to the Orchestra Program at Myers Park High School! Your participation in this program is invaluable, and I hope you will find the study of orchestral performance to be rewarding and fun. As your director, I enthusiastically embrace the opportunity to guide you through the challenges and joys of learning about music. Discipline, hard work, and commitment are essential in achieving excellence. You will get out of this program what you put into it! The following handbook contains pertinent information regarding our Orchestra Program. We will review the information extensively in class, as some policies and procedures may be different from those of years past. I would request that each student please share this handbook with his/her parents. Parent communication and support is crucial to the success of our program. Parents, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at feliciak.sink@cms.k12.nc.us or Our orchestra webpage is myersparkorchestras.weebly.com. Please check this page frequently for updated information. I look forward to an exciting new year filled with many enriching musical experiences! Sincerely, Felicia K. Sink, Director of Orchestras David W. Butler High School Myers Park High School feliciak.sink@cms.k12.nc.us myersparkorchestras.weebly.com - 2 -

Do not interrupt the director or fellow peers. Exhibit good posture by sitting up straight and keeping both feet on the floor Keep fingernails short, as long fingernails will inhibit the proper development of left hand technique Take personal accountability for keeping the facilities neat and clean by properly disposing of trash and properly storing instruments and music Most importantly, come to class with a POSITIVE ATTITUDE! Restroom Privileges Students will be allowed to use the restroom during class for emergencies only. Students may not use the restroom during the first or last 10 minutes of the class period. Students are to raise their hands, request permission, and take the hall pass located at the front of the classroom. Only one student may take the pass at a time. The director reserves the right to limit and/or suspend restroom visits to any student who abuses the privilege. Attendance Policy It is of paramount importance that students attend class each day. Orchestra is a performance based class and it is only through participation that students will learn and develop musicianship. The overall success of the orchestra depends on each individual student s participation. Students will be held accountable to the MPHS rules and attendance policies. In the event of an absence, the student must be responsible for inquiring about missed work, and it is the responsibility of the student to complete all such work. Incompletion of work will result in a loss of points specific to the delinquent assignment. Grading Policy The following is a breakdown of the student grade: Class Participation (informal): Attend class with all required materials, be engaged, and have a positive attitude! Concerts (formal): Orchestra is a performance based class; the concert is a culmination of all preparation done both in class and at home
5 Playing Assessments and Quizzes (formal): Assigned scales and passages from repertoire to be formally assessed by the director (minimum of once per quarter). Written Work (formal): Concert performance critiques, practice reflections, music theory and history assignments, listening logs, and/or special projects. Concert Attire An orchestra or chamber ensemble is a team. For purposes of unification and presentation it is important to have a dress code. Ladies: Black dress (sleeves must cover upper arm and be at a minimum of elbow length and neckline must be no lower than collarbone. Length must be below knee when sitting in chair) OR Black blouse (sleeves must cover upper arm and be at a minimum of elbow length and neckline must be no lower than collarbone) WITH Black skirt (length must be below knee when sitting in chair) OR Black pants (No jeans, jeggings, or athletic pants, please!) AND Black dress shoes (No sandals, please!) Gentleman: Black tuxedo with black bow tie, OR Black suit with white dress shirt and black bow tie, AND Black dress shoes. Attire must adhere to CMS dress code policies. Students who violate the dress code will lose points towards their concert grade. If a student is dressed in a manner deemed disrespectful or inappropriate, the director reserves the right to prohibit that student from performing in the concert. Concert Etiquette All students are expected to conduct themselves in a poised and dignified manner before, during, and after the performance. Students will participate as follows: Arrive punctually at the assigned concert call Warm-up in the designated area only Process onto the stage quietly and orderly Display good posture at all times Refrain from talking as EVERYTHING is audible and visible to the audience Exercise extreme focus and concentration in producing the highest quality performance possible Follow the director s cues in acknowledging the audience Be engaged audience members in support of peers who may be performing in other ensembles Help with the set-up and breakdown, as this too, is part of a concert production - 5 -
