Practice Expectations:
Every student is graded on the expectation of practicing 100 minutes per week. This averages out to 20 minutes per day / five days per week. Students will have practice assignments from the methods books and additional concert sheet music. Assignments will be marked in the method books by "slashes" through the exercise number. When an assignment is completed, an "X" will be drawn through the number. Practice grades for the HCPSS report card will be determined by student performance in class on assigned material.
Band Schedule
Every band student will receive one hour of instruction per week. The lessons are divided into two 1/2-hour lesson blocks. All band students will be required to miss one recess per week for a lesson. For the second lesson, students will be pulled from the content block of classroom instruction or from a portion of related arts. Students are NOT pulled from reading or math instruction. Each student is responsible for making-up any missed work. In addition, full band rehearsals will be conducted every other week on Thursdays from 2:10-2:55 during the "content" block.
Band Handbook
Each participating band student is provided a copy of the band handbook. The handbook provides detailed information on the policies and procedures for the Lisbon Band.
