1. Bring a pencil to every band rehearsal or store one in your folder. Use it to mark your music lightly; do not destroy the music for the next group that plays it.
2. No gum, candy, etc. during rehearsal or performance. This a no warning offense.
3. Be in your chair, ready to play when the bell rings or have a pass. Tardiness will be handled in accordance with the school attendance policy.
4. During marching season, be prepared to march outside every day. The grass is normally wet and we may rehearse in wind, drizzle, snow, and/or extreme cold. Wear proper shoes and warm clothing.
5. When excused, put all music, instruments and equipment away properly. All wind instruments go in cases in the appropriate area. All percussion gets covered or neatly arranged.
6. Only handle or play your own instrument (percussion instruments especially).
7. Supplies and repairs should be taken care of outside of rehearsal time when possible.
8. Use common sense to avoid lengthening this list of rules.

Consequences will depend upon severity and frequency of the problem. Possible consequences include (but will not be restricted to):

• Warning
• Reprimand
• Detention
• Parent conference
• Lowered discipline/attitude grade
• Demotion of chair position or office
• Removal from band
• Removal from school
