    I. Description
    Through rehearsal and performance of a variety of carefully selected wind band and chamber
    wind literature, students will increase their knowledge and experience base on their individual
    instruments and with their ensemble skills. The four different ensembles are open to all Madison
    High School students on an auditioned basis. Ensemble placement and repertoire/part
    assignments are determined by audition and faculty recommendations, and are intended to
    provide the most appropriate educational experience for each individual student’s
    development. Students will be required to prepare music outside of rehearsal in order to facilitate
    productive rehearsals and high levels of learning.

    II. Rehearsal Statement


    Rehearsals are not to learn your part - rather they are to learn everyone else’s part and
    therefore, the music. Rehearsals are time to work collectively, not individually. The discovery of
    how the composition works and creating the most profound and educated recreation of the
    composer’s intent is the focus of rehearsal time. At this level, your part is your responsibility.
    This minimum standard is important for all to understand because it is the professional standard.

    III. Grading

    Attendance (30%) Students will be required to attend all rehearsals, sectionals,


    and performances. All missed rehearsals must be excused with a note from a parent or doctor,
    and any missed performances will result in an immediate loss of points at the
    director’s digression. Late arrival to any event will also result in a loss of points.
    *Any late arrival to a rehearsal or performance without proper notification will result in a loss of
    25 (of 100 total) points from the weekly attendance grade.
    *Any absence from a rehearsal without proper notification will result in a loss of 50 (of 100
    total) points from the weekly attendance grade.
    *Any absence from a performance without proper notification will resultin a loss of all
    attendance points for the week, as well as the participation points for that week as well.
    *Any loss of points that goes over the 100 allotted points per week will result in a loss of
    participation points.

    Participation (40%) Students will be assessed on their preparation for class and
    active participation in the music making process. The expectation is that students have learned
    their music on their own, and come ready to perform and rehearse in class. Students with a
    positive attitude and a great work ethic will receive their participation points.

    Performance (30%) All students will be required to complete a series of music “check-offs”
    and or recordings of progress on specified music. The check-offs will not be private lessons with
    the directors, but instead individual time to perform the music to ensure practicing at home.

    IV. Tutoring
    The directors are available from 8:00-8:45 and 4:05-4:45 Monday-Friday for students that would
    like extra help with their all-region music, solo & ensemble music, or any general music passed
    out in class.

    V. Citizenship
    Citizenship codes are as follows: E = Excellent S = Satisfactory N = Needs Improvement U =
    Unsatisfactory B. The citizenship code is an indication of the student's daily behavior for a nine-
    week period and is based on their attendance, preparedness, attitude, and contribution to our
    program.
