S.C. LEE JHCOUGAR BAND“Demand Excellence”
HANDBOOK OVERVIEW Eligibility
All classes must be passed (70) in order to participate in extra-curricular activities
Concerts are considered curricular and not subject to eligibility requirements
Attendance An unexcused absence from a rehearsal or
performance will result in a grade deduction. Excuses are only accepted in the event of absence from school or family emergency. Not having a ride is not an acceptable excuse for missing a rehearsal/performance. Schedules are given far enough in advance for arrangements to be made.
School Owned Instruments If, in the opinion of a CCISD director, a school-
owned instrument is not being properly maintained or cared for at anytime of the school year, it is the director’s prerogative to remove the instrument from the student’s care.
Concert Etiquette 1. Remove all hats upon entering the performance hall. 2. No food or drink is permitted at any time. 3. Turn off all cell phones, pagers, and watch
alarms. 4. Audience members are asked to remain quiet during
the performance. Remember that the acoustics that allow you to enjoy the performance also enhance extraneous noise in the theatre.
5. Recordings are made of most performances, so if bringing small children, please sit near an exit or on the aisle in case you have to leave suddenly.
6. Remain seated. Do not leave or enter the auditorium while a group is performing. If you absolutely must leave before a group is finished, please wait and do so only between selections.
7. Applaud the performers on stage after a selection but not between movements of a song. In a formal concert setting, whistling and shouting are inappropriate
SOCIAL MEDIA We currently working on multiple social media outlets to keep in
touch with parents
