Before any student begins the process of making up an “excused” missed assignment, they should:
- Review the band’s policy on missed rehearsals and performances by CLICKING HERE.
- Confirm with Mr. Raney or Mr. Albert you are eligible.
- Sign the “Makeup Assignment” sheet located in the high school band room.
Items Needed
Students completing this makeup assignment will need access to Charms through either a computer or smartphone app called “Charms Blue”.
Assignment
For each missed rehearsal or assignment, the students should record 30 minutes of solid practice time. (Some performances may require 60 minutes of recordings) Students may perform sections of the current band music, solo literature, method book exercises or scales. Long periods of silence in a recording will be deducted from the overall length of time. Grades will be adjusted according to the total amount of playing time. (2 pts./min.)
The assignment is not required to be completed in one practice session. I suggest recording 5-10 minute sessions at a time in case you have technical issues. The time of each recording will be added for the 30 minute requirement.
