Practice Records

Students are expected to maintain a record of consistent  practice to be turned in weekly.  Practicing is essential to the success of each band member.  Students who practice consistently are more successful on their instrument and enjoy playing more.

Requirements:

Practice Sheets are a required part of the band grade in the Station Band. Students receive a practice sheet every Monday and turn it in the following Monday. All practice sheets are worth 3 points. Students will receive 1 point each day they practice (goal is 3 days = 3 points). A “day” of practice must be at least 15 minutes and should include some “sectional”, some “lesson” and some “full band” assignment.  Each time a student practices doesn’t mean that they need to practice everything every time, BUT I shouldn’t see only one song as the only thing they practice.  We will doing our practice sheets on the iPads.  There is a parent signature required each week by as they are expected to turn in their sheets by Monday.  Links will be attached soon!
