Practice Sheets

A practice sheet has been given to each of the students. Students should be keeping track of how much they practice from Monday through Sunday. Practice records are due every Monday (or Tuesday, if no school on Monday) with a parent's signature. On Sunday (or Monday morning), a parent/guardian should sign the practice sheet.

Students automatically receive 20 points for a signature and no minutes practiced at home. Every minute adds another point to their grade.

Example:

Monday = 15
Tuesday = 20
Wednesday = 30
Thursday = 5
Friday = 0
Saturday = 10
Sunday = 0

TOTAL MINUTES = 80 minutes (+ 20) = 100 points

10 points are deducted for every day the practice record is late.

If a practice record is not received the week it is due, students will receive a 0.

Students may earn up to 110 points.

Oh, the joyous sounds!

Blanco 5th Grade Band members are hard at work squeaking and squawking and buzzing on their mouthpieces! They are learning to form their embouchures and make good sounds. Students are repeating rhythms their band directors play. It's so much fun!
