Mighty Colt Band Handbook

WELCOME BACK! OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this Might Colt Band Handbook is to give you as much information as possible regarding band. OVERVIEW: Congratulations on your decision to be in band! You can be very proud of yourself for being a part of one of Desert Wind’s most successful student organizations. Please consider it a privilege rather than a right to be part of these exciting performance ensembles. With this privilege comes responsibility. Your team will be counting on you as an individual to make this one of the best bands in the area as we plan to compete and perform more this year. There are several things we must do as a team to get the job done: Attain a high level of academic achievement in all classes. Demonstrate a superior attitude and competency as an instrumentalist. Attend ALL concerts and contest as directed. All performances count as a test grade and cannot be

made up. Attend arranged extra rehearsals and sectionals. These rehearsals can be graded as an assignment. Contribute to the spirit and morale of the school.

DAILY PROCEDURES:

1. Bring instruments directly to the band room in the morning for appropriate locked storage. Please do not leave your instrument unattended anywhere on or off the school grounds.

2. When it is your designated class period, enter the class room in a calm, orderly fashion. Please walk in order to avoid bumping into other students who may still have instruments in their hands.

3. On arrival to class be prepared with instrument, book, music and any other supply needed. Wait quietly and calmly for instructions at all times. Do not open your instrument until instructed to do so by the teacher.

4. Absolutely no food, flavored drinks, or gum in the band room. (Water only). 5. Five minutes before the period is over, you must put everything that belongs to you away. That

includes putting your instrument in its correct storage location. Do not leave any instrument laying in the middle of the room or storage room.

6. During the day, instruments should be stored in the band room. At the end of the day, all instruments should go home for daily practice. (If an instrument is left at the end of the day, the student’s daily participation grade will be lowered for each day it is here, this includes weekends.)

BATHROOM PASSES: As a MIGHTY COLT BAND MEMBER, you are required and expected to be in class. Anytime you are not in class results in loss of instruction. All students will receive 4 passes at the beginning of every nine weeks. Passes do not roll over. You must bring them with you every day to class. You are expected to treat these passes as if they were money. Pass must be surrendered when you are ready to use it. All students are required to sign out before leaving the room. This procedure is to ensure and enhance the learning environment within the band room, prevents students from missing valuable class instruction and in a small way, teach responsibility. Remember, this is your only pass to use restroom facilities. Do not lose them. There is absolutely no way to replace them until the next nine weeks. GRADING POLICIES: All students in the Mighty Colt Band will be graded on the following areas, please read below for more in-depth information on how each area is subject to grading. Daily Grades based off of appropriate class participation Daily attendance/Having all materials needed for class Playing tests Daily Homework/Practice Logs Taking your instrument home Participation in concerts/contest performances/Performances-count as test grades Rehearsals outside of school day will count as an assignment and will be graded. Instrument care

DAILY GRADES: Daily Grades are based off of appropriate daily band participation. This means that you must be in class with all required materials, follow all rules, directions, expectations, maintain a positive demeanor and participate with 100% BEST EFFORT. Any Low Daily Grades is a direct result of not following or complying to the rules, directions or expectations, behavior or participation in class. (Example: Should you happen to forget to bring your instrument/binder/band book, expect to see your daily grade for that day deducted by 10pts per item.) 10 points will be deducted for per non-compliance category. DAILY ATTENDANCE: The MIGHTY COLT BAND requires everyone to be in attendance for class as well as any scheduled after school rehearsals. It is difficult for the band to perform at its maximum potential when even one student is missing. Your attendance counts as a daily grade in band and is necessary for your participation in class. Excused absences=70 for that day. Any un-excused absences=50 for that day. Please do not be absent, as it is hard to catch up on the lesson and instruction. The MIGHTY COLT BAND NEEDS YOU! WEEKLY TESTS GRADES: All band students can expect to have a weekly written OR performance based test. Performance based tests will be graded using a teacher made rubric, (please refer to the back of the handbook for an example of the GRADING RUBRIC). Some weekly tests may be “pass or fail” tests. DAILY HOMEWORK AND PRACTICE LOGS: Students are required to practice every day Monday-Sunday, weekends and holidays a total of 30 minutes per day. Students will keep track of their practice time and progress by completing a band PRACTICE LOG. All practice logs are to be completed outside of class as homework. I understand some situations do not allow for the student to practice at home, therefore, the student may come in the band room after school and practice

as long as they would like. All practice logs will be DUE at the beginning of each week and require a parent/guardian signature. Students will place their practice log in the designated folder located on the band office door and allow for one-day grading time to get them back. All practice log grades will be entered as a daily grade, once a week. For any student who may have their instrument in the shop for repairs, please ask the director for alternate ways to practice for this class. If a student misplaces their practice logs, they can create their own or go online to the schools’ website band page to print out additional copies. (Please refer to the back of the handbook for a sample PRACTICE LOG). TAKING YOUR INSTRUMENT HOME/BRINGING IT BACK: ALL students are required to take home their instruments and bring them back to school on a daily basis without fail in order to practice. (Please see above for information on practice logs). For students who forget to bring or take home their instrument, they will lose 50 points off of their daily participation grade and a phone call home will be made. THE IMPORTANCE OF PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! As a Mighty Colt Band Member, you are EXPECTED to ALWAYS give your BEST EFFORT. Learning music is exactly like learning a different language. It requires hard work, practice outside of class, repetition and a lot of patience. The more you practice, the better you will get. You won’t see the progress immediately overnight, however you will hear and see progress as the year goes by. Make sure you take your instrument home on a daily basis. If you are unable to carry your instrument with you or practice at home, you must come and practice after school here in the band room. It is the only way you will get better. AFTER SCHOOL REHEARSALS: As a Mighty Colt Band Member, you are required to attend any before or after school band rehearsals. We usually have after school rehearsals before a big performance event. Newsletters will be sent home with students regarding any upcoming schedule afterschool rehearsals. If you have any conflicts with attending rehearsal, PLEASE inform your band director IMMEDIATELY to see if there is any make- up day options. These rehearsals can count as a grade (please see the UIL link in next paragraph). Communication is the key to success! * PLEASE NOTE: Any student who has academic tutoring MUST ATTEND THEIR TUTORING. We need you to be passing ALL of your classes! * As a Mighty Colt Band Member, your participation and attendance will be graded for any after school practices. In the state of Texas, we have UIL Side-By-Side rules indicating that any Co-Curricular course may give grades for after school participation. The parent and student will receive written notification in advance of these rehearsals and will be required to sign and return a receipt. If you are unable to attend, please communicate in writing. Feel free to browse the UIL Side-By-Side Rules at http://www.uiltexas.org/policy/tea-uil-side-by-side MIGHTY COLT BAND PERFORMANCES: As a Mighty Colt Band Member, you will have numerous performance events. (Please see the 2016-2017 Desert Wind Band Calendar of Events below). All students are REQUIRED to attend and perform at band performances, with regard to eligibility (please read following paragraph on Eligibility). Attendance and participation can and will be for a grade. Please refer online to TEA Side By Side rules online http://www.uiltexas.org/policy/tea-uil-side-by-side If you have any conflicts with 2016-2017 Desert Wind Band Calendar of Events performance dates, please inform the director about them AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. INSTRUMENT CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Instrument repairs should go through the director first to help identify and assess the problem. It may be something easy to fix such as a stuck mouth piece or popped spring which can be done by the director. If the

director is unable to fix the instrument, normally due to missing or warped pads, bent keys, broken water keys, missing valve guides, etc., then the instrument will need to be taken to a repair shop. Please bring a copy of your repair tag/receipt to prevent loss of daily grade. You will still participate in class using your band book and fingering along. ELIGIBILITY: Texas State Law mandates the “No Pass, No Play” rule. All students participating in a Texas Public School, in our case, a student enrolled in the Mighty Colt Band program must maintain a 70 or above average in ALL CLASSES, as well as maintain conduct grades (an S or better). Please be sure to attend any tutoring you may need in your other classes. Eligibility is checked for all off school performances as well as any event requiring students to ride on the bus. The Mighty Colt Band needs everyone to be passing! You have the best teachers working with you! Ask for help if you need it. INSTRUMENTS AND SCHOOL RENTALS/FEES: As a Mighty Colt Band Member, you are required to have access to your own instrument. Please do not share an instrument with someone else enrolled in the Mighty Colt Band, even if they have a different class period than you. It is highly encouraged for you to rent or purchase your own instrument if you are able to. We do have a very limited amount of instruments here at school, however there is not enough for everyone. You may need to buy or rent your own instrument from the music store. Please talk with the director for information where to go for instruments. In the event you are unable to rent from a music store, please inform your director ASAP. For the few students who do rent from the school, you will be required to fill out the proper paperwork. If you qualify for free or reduced lunch you the principal will waive the rental fee. If you do not qualify for free or reduced lunch, there is a ONE-TIME fee of $45.00 that will need to be paid to the secretary in main office. The school secretary will issue you a receipt. Please bring your receipt of payment as well as your completed instrument rental agreement form to your director. Instruments can only go home with the student when all forms and rental fee receipt are turned in. Please note: If you do not turn in your paper work within 2-3 school days, your instrument will be checked out to another student. All students using school instruments are EXPECTED to properly care for and maintain their instruments. Students and parents will be held financially responsible for any school issued instrument that gets lost, stolen and or damaged. Unpaid damages, failure to replacement of instrument parts, un-returned school instruments at the end of the year will result in your report card being held. Please take care of your instrument! If you are going to be transferring to another school, you MUST return your instrument in order to be cleared from the front office. If an instrument is lost, please inform your parents and look around your house. If it is stolen, please inform your parents and immediately inform your band director so we can file a police report accordingly. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES: All band students will be held accountable! It is your responsibility to make sure that you do what is expected of you. This also applies to being responsible and accountable for the maintenance and playing condition of your instrument. You will have to pay for any repairs it may require that are not from natural wear and tear.

Take pride and ownership over your actions, work, belongings, equipment, school, community, yourself and YOUR INSTRUMENT! END OF THE YEAR AWARD REQUIREMENTS: This year, there is a list of tasks in which students will need to complete throughout the year. Any student that completes all of these tasks will be recognized at our final “End of the Year” concert/awards ceremony. In the band room will be three charts (one for each band) that will have a complete listing of tasks and each student’s name. When a student completes a task it will be marked off of the chart. This way every student can keep track of their progress towards being recognized with a special award. The following is a listing of each requirement followed by a description: BEGINNING BAND: Beginner Colt Band Award Good Behavior- The student must not have had any discipline actions throughout the entire school year. Good behavior is expected not only in the band room, but in concert situations, field trips, any function where the student represents Desert Wind. Students that are placed in SAC, suspension or Keys for any reason have failed to complete this task. Solo/Ensemble- The student must perform either a solo or in an ensemble (or both) at the SISD Solo and Ensemble competition which will be held in May. The rating the student receives is inconsequential to their completing this task. Audience Participation- The student must attend three concerts over the school year in which they are NOT a performer. This means that if all three bands are performing a joint concert, the student does not receive credit for this, because they are a performer. Students can attend concerts that are performed by the school choir, orchestra or any concert held at another school. We will constantly update the “Gigs” board in the band room to inform students when and where concerts are being held. In order to receive credit for this, the student must bring a program from the concert or bring a list of music that was performed with a signature by one of the performers or director. We are open to suggestions for concerts, be creative. Honor Band- The student must be selected into the end of the year 6th grade Honor Band. This is the group that we will take major competitions and field trips. Students must audition for this group. Selection is not only based on level of proficiency on instrument but on behavior as well. Attendance- The student attends all performances given by the band and any rehearsals that are scheduled outside of the normal school day. Being Prepared- The student is never caught without any of the materials listed earlier in the handbook (this includes the instrument, mouthpiece, sticks, etc.) Eligibility- The student’s grades never drop below a 70 in any of their classes. ADVANCED HONOR BAND/INTERMEDIATE-SYMPHONIC BAND: Colt Band Honor Member Award To receive this award, the student must complete all of the tasks listed for the Beginner Colt Band Award, with exception of being selected as a member of the Honor Band. This student must also complete the following tasks.

All-Region- The student must prepare the music for and audition for the city wide All-Region Band or All-Region Jazz Band (or both). Whether or not they student is selected as a member of this group is inconsequential to their completing this task. Report- The student must give a 5-minute presentation to their class period describing the life and important works of any classical or jazz composer or musician. The student must receive approval by the teacher beforehand. A one-page essay must accompany this report for the teacher to keep on file. ADVANCED HONOR BAND/INTERMEDIATE-SYMPHONIC BAND: Colt Band Distinguished Member Award To receive this award, the student must complete all of the tasks listed for the Beginning Colt Band Award with the exception of being selected as a member to the Honor Band. The student must also complete the Mighty Colt Band Honor Member requirements. The difference between an Honor Member and a Distinguished member is that the student is selected to be a member of any of the region bands (this includes the All-Region Jazz Band). The student only needs to be selected to one group to be recognized as a Distinguished Member. OUTSTANDING MUSICIAN AWARD: This award is given to only one student. This student will be chosen out of the Distinguished Members. In the event that there are no Distinguished Member, there will be no Outstanding Musician Award. BAND UNIFORM: The bands at Desert Wind School will perform in uniform as follows: Beginning Band-Solid black socks, solid black shoes, solid black slacks (not jeans) and Yellow Band/School Polo. Symphonic Band-Solid black socks, solid black shoes, solid black slacks (not jeans) and Blue Band/School Polo. Concert Band-Solid black socks, solid black shoes, solid black slacks (not jeans), and White Band/School Polo. POSSIBLE FUNDRAISING: As a Mighty Colt Band Member, be prepared to participate with band fundraiser activities during the year. Again, this is not mandatory but STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. Fundraising is NEVER graded. All fundraised money goes into the band fundraiser account and is used on the MIGHTY COLT BAND and it is for the students enrolled in band and band purposes, (such as contest entry fees, piano accompanist fees, band t-shirts, music, equipment and instrument accessories, etc.,). Students will be given receipts anytime money is turned in and records will be kept to keep track of all students with fundraiser money. Please keep all your receipts in a safe place until the end of the year or longer if you wish. If at any time you have questions, comments, or concerns, about band or anything listed in the handbook, please feel free to contact the band director. Again, Welcome Back and let’s have a great musical year!
