Honor Band Objective Sheets and Practice Reports Posted 8/23/2017
Honor Band members have been given these two forms (Orange-Front to Back) which will be used to receive credit for the work they put in for their band class. The objective sheet lists the assignments and tests that have been assigned for the students. The practice report, on the other hand, is used to document the time they spend outside of class to prepare for these assignments and tests. We are asking the students to be honest on these forms in order to build character.
For their first objective, the students are to turn in the last two pages of the band handbook. Please print the forms out at home, or have your student print them out in the library or computer lab on campus, or return the copies that were given to them in class.
