Quartz Hill Drumline Expectations It is the job of each member of the Drumline to do the following:
Respect each member of the Drumline, Band and Pageantry. If you have a problem with someone, tell your section leader, who will then discuss with the other person’s section leader. If the problem escalates, the instructors and/or band director will become involved in the issue.
The Drumline, Band & Pageantry are one team. We are only as good as our weakest link. Hold your fellow members accountable for holding up their end.
Practice your music as least minutes every day. This is your homework for band.
Show up to rehearsal on time. This means you show up 15 minutes before rehearsal begins. Arrive, set-up your instrument, and be ready to start rehearsal at the set time. Excessive tardies will lead to removal from the show.
If you miss the last rehearsal before a performance, then you will not perform at that show. We need every member of this Drumline to be 100% dedicated to being a part of the overall team.
All tardies or absences from rehearsal must be excused with a note. If you are at an appointment, then your parents need to sign the note. If you are working on a project in a classroom and are late, then your teacher needs to sign a note. No excuses!
Learn to be an all-around percussionist. We don’t want just drummers who beat a drum. You must all learn mallets & concert percussion, as well as your marching drum in order to be a member of this Drumline. This includes learning all of your major & minor scales by the end of the school year.
Listen and learn to the instructors and directors during rehearsals. If you have a question, raise your hand. Otherwise, stay quiet!
