Rocky Road High School Band Program

Classroom Management:
To be in Band is an incredible opportunity and privilege for all students. The student is
responsible for their own actions and behavior when conducting themselves on any independent
school districts premises. Students may not be adjusted to the certain requirement of performance
behaviors that are required in a band setting, and should be willing to abide by these rules. If the
student is not willing to learn the proper behaviors this may cause multiple distractions and deter
the band from always performing at its best. Each instance of students disobeying these rules,
regulations, and performance techniques will be dealt with on an individual basis.

Classroom Expectations.
Students are expected to:
a. Show up to their respected classes and rehearsals in a timely manner before the rehearsal
starts (Those that have conflicts will be asked and we will figure out the details of that
students time conflicts.).
b. Always have their equipment and music, every day, and every rehearsal.
c. Not speak out if turn in rehearsals.
d. Keeping hands, and other body parts to themselves,
e. Students must behave outside of the band hall with the same expectations that hey have
in it (as a band member you are representing more than yourself, you’re representing an
entire program).
f. Respecting all instructors and students at all times.
g. Keep electronic devices on silent/off during class time.
- No electronic devices are allowed during rehearsal/class time

1. Verbal Warning.

warning for their actions.
2. Phone Call to Guardian.

the specifics of the student’s misbehavior
3. Parent/Guardian Teacher Conference.

talk about the student’s behavior.

will be the deciding factors in the consequences of the students actions.
