Band Student To-Do List this week

Thank your parents for putting up with you while cooped up during the snow.

Practice. See What are we doing this week? for assessment dates.

Complete any assignments with a grade of M. Assignments due before February can earn half credit. Assignments due during February can earn full credit.

Play over/Do over any assignment’s grade you would like to improve. This applies to your last pass-off, the rhythmic dictation exercise, or the note naming exercise.

Read over your student’s Band Progress Journal. I leave comments at the bottom of the page under “page comments”. Most of them go unread.
