Students
are expected to practice on a consistent basis. All band students are
expected to turn in a practice record once a week. Remember, the
amount of practice directly affects the grade as well as musical
performance and mastery. Band rehearsals and sectionals DO
NOT count as practice sessions. Private lessons DO count as
practice sessions. The following grading scale will be used to
determine weekly practice grades. The one lowest weekly grade will be dropped in any given quarter.
150 or
more minutes
A
120 -
149 minutes
B
90- 119
minutes
C
60- 89
minutes
D
Less
than 60 minutes
F
Students will
lose 1/2 letter grade for each day a practice record is late. No credit
will be given to a student who does not turn in a practice record during
the calendar week in which it is due.
