For the band to succeed and for each
student to have the best chance to make honor band and receive other honors,
home practice is an absolutely essential. Home practice is treated as part of
the participation grade. Practice charts are home practice reports produced on
a quarterly basis. Students should pick up a new practice chart each quarter.
Each week the students should practice a minimum of 75 minutes. It is
recommended that the student practice 15 minutes a day for 5 days each week,
but the student may break it up differently if desired. By the end of the
quarter the practice chart must be turned in signed by the parent.
Unsigned practice charts do not count. Practice charts are worth 10 points for
each week practiced.
