USE OF BAND FACILITIES

The use of band facilities before, after, and during school hours is a privilege. Students who abuse the facilities and facility contents will be disciplined accordingly. Any abuse or damage will be considered vandalism.

Rehearsal Room (Band Room)

The Band Room is for band students only!  Students who are not enrolled in band are not allowed in the band room at any time.  This is to help protect student-owned and school-owned property and to ensure the security of those items.

The controlled gathering of students before school is permitted as long as students are well behaved. The rehearsal room and practice rooms are not lounging areas. Students must make an effort to keep the room neat and orderly.  The band room will open in the morning before school when there are two or more band students who are there to practice or study. 

Practice Room and Ensemble Room

These are to be used for practice or private study only. Keep the room neat with all chairs, stands, etc., returned to their proper places. Use of practice rooms is with permission of the Director only.

Instrument Storage Room

This area is off limits to students, except when getting out or returning an instrument to its proper place in the room. Books, clothes, etc., are not allowed in this area. Instruments are to be kept in designated areas. The instrument storage room is not a lounging area or a hangout area. 

Music Library

The music library is private and is to be used only by the library staff.

Band Office

This area is private and should not be entered by any student unless the Director is present. All students should keep in mind that this is a place of business.

Telephone

The telephone is for band business only or calls home to parents. Social calls are not allowed. The phone cannot be used without specific permission from the Director.  If a student is ill during school, he/she will report to the front office and call home from the front office.
