Rehearsals
Marching Band Rehearsal Schedule Once Classes Begin – August 27
We will use the class periods to concentrate mainly on music rehearsal, so consistent and prompt attendance at our before and after school rehearsals is crucial to our band’s continued success. Outside-of-school practices will be dedicated to learning and cleaning the visual aspects of the show in full band rehearsals and are 100% dependent on 100% of the band being there to accomplish our daily goals.
Students with jobs will need to plan their work schedule so that it will not conflict with these band rehearsals, as attendance is a requirement of enrollment in the class and will affect their grade. Sorry, no student will be excused due to work conflicts. Students will have at least three hours a week for tutorial help. Since our schedule offers so many opportunities for tutorial help, any tutorials during a scheduled rehearsal day are only excused with written notice from the teacher one day prior to rehearsals. With our new weekly schedule, we ask that you do not schedule medical/dental appointments during an after school full band rehearsal or sectional. The optimum times to schedule appointments are the two or three afternoons in the week that you will not have rehearsals/sectionals. Unexcused absences will affect grading since participation is a major portion of the marching band curriculum. Though excused absences will not effect grading, anyone who misses rehearsals may be placed as an alternate for the betterment of the band and those who were in attendance at rehearsals.
We have included a chart showing the basic rehearsal schedules we use. They are somewhat dependent on the performance schedule for that week. Check the band calendar at www.whhscougarband.org or www.charmsoffice.com for specifics and updates. Football season runs from August to early November.
