CHAGRIN FALLS HIGH SCHOOL BAND HANDBOOK 2017-2018 BAND CAMP SCHEDULE OF EVENTS FEES FORMS PARENT VOLUNTEER OPTIONS and OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION Ms. Kathy Shoenfelt Director of Bands Kathy.Shoenfelt@chagrinschools.org 440-247-5500 ext 4359

Basic Philosophy The Band program in the Chagrin Falls High School is open to all students in grades 9-12 and provides its members with a high quality of music education emphasizing the fundamentals of music while developing and nurturing a positive sense of attitude, discipline, honesty, integrity, respect, and responsibility. Beyond allowing the students to become better musicians, the high standards of excellence and ideals taught and demonstrated within the classroom will help the students become better prepared as individuals and citizens of our society. Course Description The high school band is a select group and students are admitted through director recommendation. The formal concerts are in December, April and graduation. During the fall and in mid-may, the band functions as a marching band. To prepare for the marching season, all band members are expected to attend Band Camp at Ashland University near the end of July. Rehearsals continue through August prior to first day of school. The band plays at all footballs games including post-season. In May the band marches in two community parades (Blossom and Memorial Day). ALL fall sports can accommodate marching band and students may play the fall sport and March. At the conclusion of the football season, band students may be divided, through an audition/seating process, into either Wind Ensemble or Concert Band. Wind Ensemble is generally more challenging and students placed in this group are encouraged to study their instruments through private lessons. Music studied is selected from all styles and periods in musical history. Attendance at band camp, all football games, concerts and parades is required. Jazz band- participation in Jazz Band is also a possibility for music students enrolled in band, orchestra or choir. This is an extracurricular ensemble, with entrance by audition/director recommendation and rehearsals are outside of school hours. Rehearsals begin after marching band season. Marching Season Expectations Band Camp Each year the Marching Band attends Band Camp. This time away from home allows for concentrated effort and efficient preparation for the marching season, as well as building esprit de corps. Band members are REQUIRED to attend Band Camp to participate in the Marching Band. Any conflict should be brought to the attention of the director immediately. Students not able to attend camp will need to meet basic requirements before being eligible to perform on the

field with the band. Music must be memorized and checked-off to a director. The student must also be able to demonstrate and march his/her show requirements to a director. The 2017-2018 Band Camp will be held from MONDAY, JULY 24 through THURSDAY, JULY 27 at Ashland University. We will travel by school bus as a group. Room signups will be handled during the summer through sign-up genius. Students will be expected to have the Fight Song, the Star Spangled Banner, and the Alma Mater memorized BEFORE arriving at camp. Hopefully the opener and closer will also be memorized BEFORE arriving at camp. Students will receive the music before the close of the school year in 2017. Class Rehearsals During the marching season, band members should be prepared to rehearse outside daily during the class period. Have the proper attire: socks, sneakers or band shoes, raincoat, sweatshirt, and/or coat. Daily participation points will be deducted if improper attire is worn. (translation tennis shoes or marching shoes are required) Rehearsal Attendance Policy The success of every music ensemble depends on the contribution of each member. Band is an elective participatory activity thus each person is important and must be in attendance for the ensemble to grow and thrive. It is understood that circumstances do arise and students may need to miss a rehearsal or come late on occasion. Note: Absences from class due to other school functions (field trips, state/ap testing, out ill etc.) will not count against a student. The following policies encourage commitment and responsibility: Band members are expected to attend ALL scheduled rehearsals and performances. The schedule is set well in advance allowing everyone involved adequate time to plan other activities and obligations around the established schedule. Unexcused absences are NOT permitted and will result in a reduction of points toward the final grade. EXCUSED Personal illness Death or family emergency Conflict with school functions as defined by the school Observation of religious holiday UNEXECUSED Work conflicts Vacation

Last minute illnesses and emergency situations should be reported as soon as possible to the Director at (440) 247-5500 ext. 4359, or by email. Be punctual for rehearsals and performances to be on time is to be late! Points will be deducted from the grade for tardiness. Band members are expected to attend rehearsals and performances even if they have a physical injury that prevents them from marching (e.g., broken leg). Extraordinary circumstances will be handled on an individual basis where no policy covers the situation. Pre-Season Expectations Summer Sectionals Preparation for the marching band season begins with summer sectionals. These rehearsals will focus on marching and music and are vital to the success of the Marching Band. Band members are expected to attend all sectional rehearsals. An exception will be made for instances in which members are not in town (e.g., family vacation). Please notify in advance if you are not able to attend a summer sectional rehearsal. Kathy.shoenfelt@chagrinschools.org The calendar can be found at the end of this handbook. Please note work is not an acceptable excuse. Please get your band schedule to your boss so work can be scheduled around you and your participation in band. MOST employers are happy to work with you but you MUST provide your schedule for them in advance. Post-Season Expectations Play-Off Games To support our school and community, the marching Band performs at football play-off games. Band members should be prepared to participate in these performances held after the regular marching season. FRIDAY or SATURDAY we have NOT been assigned a day yet for our division TBD November-December. Future Trip During the 2017-2018 school year the band will NOT travel. However on 2018-2019 the band plans to travel to Disney. Fundraising to help lower the overall cost of the trip will be explored during the 2017-2018 school year. Equipment ALL Band Ensembles

Band members must assume responsibility for their instruments at all times and use common sense in their care and maintenance, especially at football games. The equipment (including school-owned instruments) shall be the responsibility of the student. All routine care and maintenance should be taken care of outside of rehearsal. Instruments are to be polished/cleaned prior to each performance. School-owned instruments will be evaluated before they are released to band members. Students are responsible for any damages that occur while they are in possession of a school instrument. This policy applies specifically to dents, valve work and major scratches but does not include the instrument s normal wear. Students using a school owned instrument are required to sign an instrument release form. Lockers are provided for each student to keep instruments and music. This space should not be used as a personal locker and instruments must be stored properly in their cases. Failure to put the instrument away properly will result in a negative consequence for the student. Band members may secure their locker with a combination lock. The combination must be given to the director to be kept on file. Dress Requirements Marching Band clean black marching shoes, tall black socks, clean gloves, hair under hat and hat worn correctly, pants correct length, coat will be buttoned/snapped/hooked, white band t-shirt, black soccer type shorts, polished instrument, no jewelry. Anything amiss will result in 3 rd quarter privileges being revoked. Concert Band Guys are expected to provide and wear black socks, black shoes, black dress slacks and a white long sleeve dress shirt tucked in and a long tie. Girls may wear long flowing (at least to mid calf or lower) black skirts with dark, solid hose and dress shoes or black slacks with black socks and black shoes. The top for the girls should be all black. Please keep in mind with the tops that the shoulders are to be covered and the neck line should be school worthy. Grading Policy Musicianship- Each student s first quarter grade will reflect his/her progress and development as a member of the Marching Band. ALL marching band members are required to learn and memorize their music. Music checks with the director will be scheduled outside of class time throughout the marching season. Students are responsible for completing these music checks during the designated times before deadlines. Recording audio files are acceptable. For concert season expectations will be posted on the band web page. Students must obtain a passing rating from the director to check-off a piece of music. The following performance measures will be used:

Level 1 15 points with music with the correct notes, correct rhythms, correct style/articulation, tone quality, posture/playing position this is to be done prior to memorization Level 2 10 points memorized with ALL of the same criteria All due dates will be posted in advance. Pregame music: Fight Song, Alma Mater, Star Spangled Banner may be checked-off level one in May or June thus the student will be ready to memorize on their own. In Class Daily Participation Marching Band- Students will receive points for their participation in rehearsals and performances. Each rehearsal is worth 5 points and each performance is worth 50 points toward the final grade. Any extra event or performance that is announced as optional that the students attends will gain the student 10 bonus points. Correct Marching shoes are required when we march outside. Rehearsals/daily class participation includes tennis shoe or marching shoes, a pencil, a flip folder, a working instrument and a positive attitude. Band Point System +5 points per day awarded. May lose points no instrument, no music/lyre/flip folder/chart, incorrect shoes, not set on time, talking in set, playing out of turn, food or gum, case open in locker, music sticks etc not put away. This applies as needed to concert season too. Wind Ensemble /Concert Band- Students will receive another information packet much smaller than this one at the beginning of the second semester. Performances Performances are required 50 points. If a student elects to miss and gives a 3 week notice 35 points will be assigned. Student must complete an excused absence form. Students may elect to make up the 15 remaining points by completing a written assignment of 4-5 typed pages as related to the event missed. This will be determined on an individual event basis when needed. If a student elects to miss with less than a 3 week notice a 0 will be assigned-no opportunity will be given to makeup the points. Again band is a team activity and each person must be in attendance to make it work. If known in advance that there is a conflict the other students can be taught what to do to make it work. Expectations As a member of the Chagrin Falls HS Band Program, one will represent themselves, the band, and the school. By following the stated expectations, we will ensure a positive representation of the group in and out of rehearsal:
