Classroom Expectations


In place of an endless list of rules for students to follow, there is one general rule for the band room and only a few other specifics.

The main rule that governs the band room is RESPECT.

If everyone in the classroom respects each other, much more learning and music making will occur. If at any point someone is being disrespectful, the action will be dealt with accordingly.


  1. Chewing gum, eating food, or drinking beverages other than water is not appropriate during class. The band room is open during the lunch hours for students to eat lunch, provided that students clean up after themselves.

  2. Students are expected to give their full, undivided attention while a director or guest is on the podium.

  3. Every member must have music, pencils, and instruments at all rehearsals.

  4. Always cooperate with band staff including directors, section leaders, volunteers, and guests.

  5. Assumptions can lead to problems. Check the band website for all information.

  6. Be on time for all rehearsals and performances. β€œTo be early is to be on time.”

  7. Every member is financially responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen school property including uniforms, music, and instruments.

  8. All members are asked to keep all rehearsal and performance areas clean and organized.

  9. Be proud of what you are a part of... a GREAT band.

  10. RESPECT.
