1 OAKRIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL BAND HANDBOOK
2 Dear Students and Parents, Welcome to the school year! My name is John Rosbottom and I am the band director at Oakridge Middle School! I am very excited to start the school year! We have accomplished many impressive goals and started several new traditions over the past few years. I look forward to continuing those traditions and building on the success of recent years. This handbook contains a great deal of information that you will need to know about the operation of the OMS Band program. Being a large organization, it is important that everyone involved is aware of the policies and procedures in effect. Communication is a vital component of any successful organization. By familiarizing yourself with the policies and procedures in this handbook, most conflicts can be avoided. The most effective means of communicating with me is . My address is: rosbotjo@collierschools.com The final page of this handbook is a link to an information form. Please fill out this form at your earliest convenience. I look forward to meeting each of you and having a very successful school year! John Rosbottom Band Director Oakridge Middle School
3 PHILOSOPHY The primary goal of the OMS Band program is to give students an outstanding experience as a member of a performing ensemble. It is my hope that students will develop performing skills and an appreciation of music that will lead to a lifetime of musical enjoyment. Beyond the musical concepts that are taught, there are many skills that are developed that transcend music. Leadership skills, teamwork, perseverance, and self-expression will all serve students well beyond their days in band. Band is a co-curricular class. Most band events take place during the day. However, some events, primarily concerts and extra rehearsals, will take place outside of the school day. The number of additional commitments is very low in beginning band and increases as students move into the more advanced groups. All concerts and rehearsals are required events. If a conflict arises, please notify the director well in advance so that a solution can be achieved. Sporting events and transportation issues are not reasons for an excused absence from a concert or rehearsal. Please see the calendar at the end of this handbook and plan ahead. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES The band student s primary responsibility is to communicate with the band director and with their parents. By far, the best way to communicate with the director is via to: rosbotjo@collierschools.com. Communication with parents will be made through various methods, such as, , OMS website, and letters sent home. It is the student s responsibility to inform parents about their commitments to the OMS Band. It is also important that the student communicates with the director regarding any conflicts that may arise. Please check the band calendar for more information! BANDROOM EXPECTATIONS: Respect the learning environment* Be on time with all necessary materials. Treat people and property with due respect Always do your best!!! * Behavior that is detrimental to the learning environment is unacceptable and will be dealt with according to school procedures Failure to meet these expectations may result in any of the following: Warning Change of seat Disciplinary infraction Phone call / to parents Referral ***Students are expected to represent the Oakridge Middle School Band in a positive manner AT ALL TIMES! This is especially important when traveling off-campus, when there are guests in our classroom, and any time we are in public. This not only includes how we perform, but how we interact with other students and adults. Any behavior that negatively reflects on the OMS Band will not be tolerated!!! GRADES: Band grades will be an average of the following: Participation includes having all necessary materials Test Grades written and performance tests
4 Concert Attendance Students are required to attend ALL concerts! Additional assignments as needed *Extra credit will occasionally be given for students that participate in non-mandatory events. Homework for band is practicing your instrument. The more a student practices, the more successful they will become. Students should practice the music we are working on in class and should practice on a daily basis. Each practice session should last from minutes, depending upon the level of the student. The band room is often open before or after school for students that cannot take their instruments home. The band director is also available for students that need additional help with their instrument. It is the student s responsibility to communicate this need. COURSE DESCRIPTIONS Beginning Band Beginning Band is designed for students who have never played a band instrument. Basic concepts include: Instrument selection Tone production Music reading Ensemble performance skills This band will have three concerts throughout the year. Intermediate Band This ensemble is designed for students with one year of prior experience. This class will expand on the concepts learned in beginning band and apply these concepts to more challenging music. Additional opportunities will include: Collier County Honor Band All-State Band Solo and ensemble performance assessment This band will also have three concerts throughout the year. Advanced Band This is the top concert band at OMS. Students in this ensemble have demonstrated mastery of all basic concepts and are ready to work on more complex music and performance skills. This group will take part in the FBA Music Performance Assessment, where they will be graded by a panel of expert adjudicators. This is the most important performance of the year. This group will perform at least four concerts per year and may be called upon for additional performances. Several after-school rehearsals will be necessary to accomplish these goals. Most will occur second semester. Jazz Band Jazz Band is a supplemental class for advanced and intermediate band students. Students must audition to be selected for this class. Students must be enrolled in another OMS music class as well as jazz band. Under certain circumstances, Jazz Band may be open to advanced and intermediate chorus and orchestra students. This group will perform extensively throughout the year and many of these performances will take place off-campus.
5 PRIVATE LESSONS The Band classes at OMS are very large. I do everything possible to ensure that your student gets as much individual attention as possible. However, with only one teacher and limited class time, additional instruction can be very helpful. We are fortunate to have many outstanding professional musicians that live in Naples. Many of these musicians offer private lessons. These lessons provide a one-on-one learning opportunity that cannot always be achieved in the classroom. I have a list of teachers for each instrument. If it is within your means, I strongly urge you to consider contacting one of these teachers. BAND UNIFORMS All Band classes have the same uniform and will consist of the following items: 1. Gray OMS Band polo shirts (I will place an order for these during the month of September) - $22 2. Black full length pants No denim material dress pants or chino material. 3. Black shoes no tennis/athletic shoes. 4. Black belt shirts will be tucked in at all times. 5. If socks are worn, they should be black. SUPPLIES FOR BAND Accent on Achievement, book 1 or 2 for your instrument the school provides you with a book Mechanical Pencils, NOT PENS, with erasers A wire music stand for practice at home Additional REQUIRED supplies for each instrument: Flute players: A silk flute swab Clarinet and sax players: A plastic reed holder for 4 reeds Reeds Van Doren # 2 ½ reeds (#3 for intermediate/advanced).
