• If we have a snow day on a scheduled rehearsal that rehearsal will be cancelled.
• If we dismiss early for weather then we will cancel any after school or night practices.
• Eighth grade band students should be considered part of the High School Band beginning on May 9th.
• Students should listen carefully for announced schedule changes. Every attempt will be made to post schedule changes on our Quia page and the Facebook HHS Band Booster page.
2010 Cavalier Concert and Marching Band
some parents need to pay for the t-shirts.
Thank You to all who helped with Bingo.
Students should be working on major scales, chromatic, and Christmas music.
Primary Objective of Instrumental Music:
develop a deep appreciation for Music as an art form
understand musical forms, styles, and acknowledge
major composers of each of the musical periods
develop listening skills
become proficient on his or her instrument
learn to work with and in a group or team
develop musical evaluation skills
What is expected:
Band is a performing ensemble. Attendance at Performances and rehearsals are expected. Students must commit because others in the group are counting on them as a responsible team member. If a student can not attend a rehearsal or performance, the director should be notified in advance when possible. Students are expected to make up missed work with the director before the end of the current grading period.
Grades:
Students will be evaluated on his or her profiencency level, attendance, and class room participation. Students will receive a grade for performances, and extra rehearsals. (If you can not attend: Do The Make Up Work.)
Students may be requested to turn in tapes for evaluation or stay after to play. Students will be expected to audition for All County and All District Events. Band Students will be asked to take an Exam (just like any other class.)
Band Grades are objective to a large degree, But students that have good attendance and make every effort to attend performances and extra rehearsals will be given credit for their merit and effort.

Percussion students will become more proficient in the use of mallet instruments, timpani, and auxiliary instruments.
