Band Class is the backbone of the instrumental music program, and rehearses during the scheduled BAND period. All students in BAND Class are automatically members of the Concert and Marching Bands. Selection to Jazz Band, Brass and Woodwind Ensembles and other special performing groups will be established by the Band Director. Pep Band is a student run organization not under the umbrella of the Western Wayne Band Program. Student participation in this organization is not supervised. Students attend all pep band functions on their own as spectators.

These are traditionally a holiday concert and a spring concert. The Band also performs for special school functions such as assemblies, graduation and pep rallies. The Band performs at all football games, many prestigious parades and local functions about twice a year. Students will be given notice of performances well in advance or they will not be expected to perform. **ALL** performances are graded and required.

After school rehearsals are mandatory but will be limited and announced well in advance to allow students time to arrange schedules. Rehearsals for extra ensembles will be scheduled as needed. A full rehearsal schedule for marching season will be handed out each year. On average the BAND will hold a short rehearsal once a week for most of the summer. Besides helping prepare the musicians for the coming year, this rehearsal schedule provides an opportunity for the students to stay in touch with their instruments throughout the summer. Attendance at these rehearsals is expected unless the student is excused by the Band Director for family vacation or another valid reason. **A note from the parent is needed for excuse.** About one week of concentrated practice will be scheduled immediately prior to the start of school or first performance. Students should make every effort to attend these practices since performance positions will be assigned at this time. Students who are unable to attend these practices will assume the roll of alternate.

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Chicago; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msobidifontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msohansifontfamily: Chicago;">Attendance is required and mandatory for all Band and Color Guard members. Any student who is absent from after school rehearsal without valid excuse will forfeit their 3rd quarter break for that week and sit in the stands. Students who miss a second rehearsal without excuse will be benched for that weeks performance, forfeit their 3rd quarter break and be required to perform all show music from memory as a test grade to replace their performance grade for the week. Further absence will be dealt with as needed. **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Chicago; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Chicago;">EXCUSED ABSENCE: **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Chicago; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Chicago;">Parental written excuses must be submitted to the Band Director in advance of the practice to be missed.

When Band rehearsals conflict with any meet or game those band members will be excused from band rehearsal to participate. When students have a conflict between sports practice and band rehearsal, students will participate in band rehearsal until 4:00. Students should prepare for sports practice prior to 3:00 so they are able to report to their sport practice immediately following 4:00 dismissal from Band. __Color Guard itself is an extra-curricular activity and is in direct conflict with sports practices. Unless the color Guard Instructor is able to schedule extra practices after sports hours, color guard members will not be excused to go to sports practice. They will be excused to go to games etc.__

The Band will participate in many school functions during the year. Only a small number of performances will be required for the entire band. Members may earn extra performance credit for participating in extra events. Parades and community performances are required performances. These may occur on holidays from time to time. When this does it is important that band members and their families recognize the obligation of the band to perform for special events. We need everyone to participate to ensure a professional performance <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Times; text-decoration: none; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Chicago; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msobidifontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msohansifontfamily: Chicago;"> **__<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Chicago; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Chicago;">GRADES __**<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Chicago; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Chicago;"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Chicago; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msobidifontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msohansifontfamily: Chicago;">Band is a performance class.

Color Guard members who miss an after school rehearsal without valid excuse will forfeit their 3rd quarter break for that week and sit in the stands. Further unexcused absence may result in dismissal from the ensemble. Excuses to this policy must be presented in the form of a parental note and be approved in advance by the Color Guard Advisor or Band Director.

To facilitate home practice, members may borrow flags and other equipment. All equipment must be returned according to the time schedule set by the Color Guard Advisor. Students are responsible for all equipment which is taken home as with any other school property. The Color Guard is part of the Western Wayne Band Program. As such, Color Guard Members are expected to follow all rules set up by the Band Director as established in this handbook.

Every Color Guard member must be able to perform their routine totally on their own while marking time in order to be selected to perform on the field with the band. Any color Guard member who is unable to perform up to this standard will not be allowed to perform. **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Chicago; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Chicago;">Color Guard uniform **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: Chicago; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Chicago;"> will be established by the Band Director in cooperation with the Color Guard Advisor.
