We will be ordering dresses so we match. A FEW OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER: Please note that if you perform with more than one ensemble you will be expected to follow the dress code for the group you are performing with. This may require a change of dress during a concert. We want to look as good and as uniform as possible. Anyone wearing an article of clothing that is believed to be distracting will be asked to remove or replace it. All skirts and dresses must be below the knee. NO HATS, NO SCARVES, NO LARGE JEWELRY…Behavioral Expectations

Scholastic, Behavior Expectations of Band Members

Membership in the Grant Band Program is based on the highest standards of behavior, and musical achievement. All band members are ambassadors and role models for their school and the community. Each member is expected to meet the requirements as established by the director, and fellow students.

1. The highest levels of student behavior are required. Swearing, smoking, drug use, alcoholic beverage consumption, and acting in a wild and unbecoming manner will not be tolerated by the director.

2. Work for other classes must be completed or made-up following a field trip or activity. When possible arrangements should be made with the proper teacher prior to the activity.

3. All students should be passing all of their classes. Membership in Wind Ensemble and/or Jazz Ensemble may be compromised by poor grades (i.e. failing one or more classes, or 2.0 GPA).

4. If the director is informed that a band member is not attending classes, the director will determine the exact probation the student will be required to follow. Probation, in this case, may include not participating in performances or rehearsals and following a daily report card procedure as established by Grand High School.

5. If the above expectations and requirements are not met, the director has the option to remove the student from the band(s). The director has the final decision in any action taken regarding the removal of the student from the group(s).

6. All members of every band should do everything possible to take lessons during the school year and the summer.
