Grading Policy

Band is a unique class.  A band is a gathering of instrumentalists, performing together as a group.  Concerts and performances are considered the “final exam” of a musical chapter.   In order for a concert to run smoothly and for everyone to get the most out of this important educational experience, certain guidelines must be met.  For students to receive full credit for the concert, students are expected to follow the following guidelines:

1. Students will be dressed in the appropriate concert attire.  If applicable, students should be in full uniform.  Students will not be able to perform with the ensemble unless they are in the correct uniform.

2. Students will be dressed, instruments assembled, music gathered, and in their seat at their concert call time.  Being late to a concert means the student was not in his/her seat, ready to go, at assigned time.

3. Students will behave in a manner that is appropriate in the concert setting.  Inappropriate behavior, including improper warm-up, is not tolerated and could result in being prevented from performing.  

4. Students are expected to stay for the entire concert.  Even if the student has completed his/her portion of the concert, students are expected to stay and support, listen to, and evaluate other ensembles performing.

5. Students are expected to put equipment away after the performance. This includes instruments, music, stands, chairs, and uniforms.
