Some general band things to remember...

What to say to your teacher when you have a scheduled band lesson:  "I have a band lesson." 
Do not ask "Are we doing anything important today" or "Are we doing anything today?".
 Simply state in a pleasant tone:  "I have a band lesson."

• Cell phones are not allowed in the band room.  If I see it, I will take it!

• If I have a recording of a song we are doing, you can listen to it on the Listening Page.

• Socializing is not part of rehearsal.  We emphasize teamwork and cooperation.

• Instruments and materials are left in the band room at your own risk. 
  See Mr. C if you would like a combination lock for your band locker.

• No gum, food, or drink in the band room.  It is bad for your instrument, poor etiquette, and could be a choking hazard.

• You are responsible for pulling your weight in the band.  If you need extra practice,  DO IT!!!

• High School Concert Dress is black pants, black socks, black shoes, and a white shirt.  Gentlemen will wear ties.
