MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS
Do not schedule medical appointments, etc.
during afternoon rehearsal times. A band member who misses
practice may be subject to losing his/her position in the contest
show or moved to a lower band. Thanks!
CONCERT SEASON PRACTICE SCHEDULE (Second and Third Tri)
Bands will hold before or after-school
practices as scheduled by the directors.
INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE
It is important for each student to allow time
outside of rehearsals to practice: Setting aside just 30-60
minutes every day will result in astonishing improvement. Many
players have reached region, area or all-state levels the year
they "discover" individual practice habits.
