NEW BAND HALL!!!!!
Morning Procedures
**Advanced Band students should begin bringing instruments on Tuesday and Beginner Band students should begin bringing instruments on Wednesday.**
If students arrive at school before 8:10am, they should go straight to the big gym. If they have an instrument to put in the band hall and they are not attending tutorials or eating breakfast, they should sit on the floor in the far corner of the gym with all other band students. If they are going to breakfast or tutorials, they should sit in the labeled section in the bleachers with their instrument.
At 8:10am, breakfast and tutorial students are released to go to those locations.
At 8:40am, students who have an instrument to put away will be released from the big gym (as long as they are seated on the floor in the "band" area) and the cafeteria to put instruments away. They should come to the band hall and put their instrument and band binder in their assigned location then WAIT IN THE BAND HALL UNTIL THE BELL RELEASES STUDENTS TO 1st PERIOD AT 8:42am.
At 8:42am, students should go to their 1st period class. In 2 weeks (8/26), they will make a quick pit stop to pick up their Chromebook from their 7th period teacher's classroom.
Unless students are attending a private lesson or a scheduled band sectional (Wind Symphony and Honors Band students only), they will not be allowed in the band hall until 8:40am.
**We will go over these procedures in detail in all classes tomorrow and it should make more sense to the students after that.**
