BEGINNING BAND INFORMATION
Beginning Band Practice Journals
Beginning this semester students will get a monthly Practice Journal. They will still need to get a parent signature at the end of every week to be turned in on Monday. The goal of the Month Long Calendar is so that you can see and track their effectiveness. Students will simply check off each day that they practice 25 minutes or more. This does not have to be in one sitting.
We will go over this in detail with the students this week. Thank you for helping to encourage them in positive practice habits.
