Drum Line Annoucements: March 2007

For those of you new to TCHS (9th grade parents) or anyone who never saw this last year, here is the class syllabus. It details grades, policies, etc. It is not designed to overrule the band handbook but go along with it.

Nothing at this time.

 
TCHS 2007 Drumline Audition Information

Rehearsals are on Mondays from 6:30-8:00 p.m. to prepare for the tryouts.  Rehearsals begin April 2, and tryouts will begin May 9th (details later).  Anyone absent or late for their tryout will be considered a forfeit - no make ups will be given.  Any conflicts should be brought to Mr. Wallace no later than April 3rd, so that alternate tryout arrangements can be made.  Players will furnish their own sticks or mallets for tryouts on snares, tenors (quads), keyboards, and timpani.  Drumline is a serious commitment, and offers a different medium for music education; one that can be both fun and entertaining with hard work and determination.

To become and remain an active member of the TCHS Drumline, each student must adhere to the following guidelines throughout the year:

  1. Remain academically eligible for 5 of 6 grading periods
  2. Adhere to all student code of conduct guidelines
  3. Remain within school dress code at all times
  4. Have no more than one PASS or Suspensions during the year
  5. Must have paid all fees, fines, etc. with both school district and booster club
  6. Have all required equipment and supplies throughout the year
  7. Continue to perform well on all band curriculum (solos, ensembles, concert band, etc.)
  8. Must attend all rehearsals and performances
  9. Pass a proficiency of TMEA Region 24 music literature
  10. Pass a proficiency of all scales and 40 PAS (Percussive Arts Society) rudiments
  11. Exhibit a great sense of self-discipline and motivation AT ALL TIMES.

NOTE: Bass Drum and Timpani candidates must have been academically eligible for all 6 grading periods.

Please pick up a packet of music, as this is the tryout material.  The packets are to be memorized for tryout on any instrument.  Please be careful in choosing the instrument(s) for which you wish to audition - USE GOOD JUDGEMENT and COMMON SENSE.  As with everything, the more you put into something, the more you will get out of it.  Good luck to all.


As always, LET’S DRUM TC!
