2 Orchestra Rules* 1. Be on time to class and early to every rehearsal and performance. 2. Bring only the materials that you need for class instrument, music, pencil to your seat. Bows should be rosined prior to the start of class or rehearsal. 3. Follow instructions the first time given, and mark your music without being asked. 4. Speak or play your instrument only when you've been instructed to do so. 5. Cell phones are not to be out or used in the orchestra classroom. Failure to follow this rule will result in consequences as stated in the student handbook. Cell phones may not be charged in the orchestra room. 6. No food (including gum) or drink is allowed in class. Water may be allowed with Mr. Neal's permission. *Students are expected to follow all rules and regulations found in the Student Handbook. Possible Corrective Consequences Verbal Warning Phone Call or to Parent Reflection Time Pack up and forfeit participation grade for the day Student Teacher Conference Parent Teacher Conference Office Referral Orchestra Supplies 1. Instrument, bow, rosin, sponge (violin/viola) or rockstop (cello/bass). 2. Pencil with eraser 3. Lined paper and staff paper. May be stored in a binder or folder at the student's discretion. 4. Music and Expressive Techniques for Orchestra. Strings class students will require Essential Elements for Strings Nos.1 & Folder (will be provided) Finger nails must be kept short to play these instruments correctly. Procuring an Instrument In order to participate in orchestra, students will need to procure an instrument. Any student that plans to play the violin or viola must rent or purchase his or her own instrument. The high school owns a limited number of cellos and basses, please see Mr. Neal if you are interested in using one. It is very important that students use a high quality instrument in order to ensure that they will have the opportunity to be successful. If you wish to purchase an instrument, please contact Mr. Neal first. Instruments can be rented or purchased locally from Amro Music or Bartlett Music Academy. Amro Music Bartlett Music Academy (901) (901) Poplar Ave Stage Rd.

5 Grading Policy Performances (900 pts per concert) Performances are the largest grade that we have in orchestra. This is a performance based class, and, in order to satisfy the requirements for the class, students must participate in ALL performances. Students must sign out after a concert to verify attendance at the performance. The attendance policy will follow all BCS guidelines. Please note that work, car trouble, and lack of transportation are not considered an excused absence. Students must notify Mr. Neal in writing no later than 2 weeks in advance if they expect to miss a performance. Approved absences will require a make up assignment. After school rehearsal attendance will comprise 300 points of this grade. Correct concert attire will comprise 100 points of this grade. Approved Concert Dress: Ladies: Formal long black. Full length, long sleeve tops with school appropriate neckline. Bottoms must be full length with no slits, cuts, etc. Cellists must wear pants. Black closed toe shoes required and must be paired with black stockings/hose/socks. Heels should be no taller than 3. Gentlemen: Long sleeve black button up shirt. Long black slacks with a black belt. Black socks. Black dress shoes. Solid white long tie. Tests and Concert Reviews (100 pts per test) Playing tests will consist of a recording being submitted through SmartMusic or by a particular date and time specified by Mr. Neal. Students will be informed of material to be tested prior to test day unless the nature of the test requires otherwise. Quarterly concert reviews for the honors class fall under this category. See honors requirements for additional information. Participation (50 pts weekly) Participation grades will be based on student preparedness (practice, materials, instrument) and participation. Failure to have all materials or choosing not to actively participate will result in a lowered participation grade. Exceptions will be made for instruments undergoing repair and any other circumstances approved by Mr. Neal. Practice Logs (50 pts weekly) Students will be expected to turn in a practice log every week. Any practice log that has not been turned in by Friday will become a 0. Practice logs will be submitted through a Google form. Students and parents will receive a link to the form. To get full credit, students must practice a minimum of 210 minutes per week. This breaks down into 30 minutes per day. In order to accommodate busy schedules, students may move up to 20 minutes from one day to any other. This results in a daily minimum of 10 minutes practiced. Honors orchestra students have increased time requirements. See honors requirements for additional information. Written Work (75 pts per assignment) This includes all written work in the class. Examples include reflections on performances, music theory assignments, and listening exercises.
