Lettering in Band

Band Letters are proudly worn on letter jackets and earned by meeting the following requirements:

• Participate in Marching Band. 
• Participate in Band Camp. 
• Participate in Concert Band, Symphonic Band, or Percussion class second semester. 
• Attend ALL required performances.  There are few exceptions to this rule.  A family ski trip planned in August for the December concert is NOT a permissible absence for lettering.  Playing in the pep band for the away football games (against other SM schools) is a requirement or an appropriate substitution. 
• Display appropriate behavior in rehearsal at all times. 
• Be on time to rehearsals, class, and performances. The band is responsible for mall clean up four times during the year.  
• Sign-up  in advance and help with clean up once each week we are assigned. 
• Choose one of the following options:
  
  • Audition for KMEA District I Honor Band 
  • Participate in solo and ensemble festival in April 
  • Participate in Jazz Ensemble (either group will suffice) 
  • Audition for, make, and participate in Basketball Pep Band.  (Usually the band participates in 10 games.) 
• Complete a "Letter Participation Form" at the conclusion of the school year and return the form to Ms. Snead.
