*Absence Request Policy & Missed Performance Policy outlined on the back
5-27-20Absence Request Policy
A pre-arranged absence request must be submitted through the online "Absence Request Form” (Link located on the MB
Website & the student's MyPad.) We ask that this form is submitted before the beginning of that week's events. This
allows the director time to confirm the absence and make the necessary accommodations.
In the event of an emergency or unexpected conflict, the student or parent is expected to contact the director through
"Remind" or email.
Missed Performance Policy
Due to the nature of “performance-based” classes, there is no distinction between an “excused” and “unexcused”
absence from a mandatory performance. The idea behind this is that a performance situation cannot be made up. If
available, the student may complete a makeup performance for partial credit.

“We will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it.
But along the way, we shall catch excellence.” -Vince Lombardi
BAND MEMBERS
Padua Franciscan HS Marching Bruins includes instrumentalists, color guard, and dance team members. The band is primarily made
up of students in grades 9-12 and a select few 7th and 8th grade “Junior Bruin” band members. Each member is taught by the
Marching Band staff and follows the expectations set forth for the marching band. All band members represent not only themselves,
but also Padua Franciscan HS, the music department, the directors, the marching band, and their families. Marching band is a
curricular class at the high school that meets after school.
EXPECTATIONS
Padua Franciscan High School students are expected to conduct themselves using a Christian attitude and lifestyle. The rules
outlined in the school conduct code (PFHS Parent/Student Handbook) are in full effect throughout any band performance or
rehearsal. This band handbook is designed to be a guide for both parents and students to give details concerning all specific aspects
of the Marching Band program. It is expected that students observe the following guidelines to ensure a safe environment which
promotes positive personal and musical growth, as well as a functional classroom environment:
1) Be Respectful 2) Be Positive 3) Be Prepared 4) Be Involved
ENROLLMENT & WITHDRAWAL POLICY
All members must be enrolled in the marching band course to participate. Course grade and credit will be awarded at the end of the
first semester. Junior Bruins are the exception to this policy.
Withdrawal from the course can result in a withdrawn passing (WP) or withdrawn failing (WF). If a student withdraws from the
marching band course after the second performance, the student will receive a WF, which will appear on the student’s permanent
record. If a student withdraws from the course prior to the second performance, the student will receive a WP or WF dependent
upon the student’s grade at the time of withdrawal, and will receive no credit for that semester.
PHYSICAL CONSIDERATIONS & HEALTH CONCERNS
The marching band practices and performs outside in ALL weather conditions throughout the season (July through November).
Students are expected to physically rehearse for varied lengths of time, as marching band is an athletic activity.
- It is the student’s responsibility to provide a water bottle throughout the season for water breaks.
- It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the weather conditions when selecting clothing, shoes, and coats for
rehearsals and performances.
- It is the student’s responsibility to consider proper nutrition throughout the marching season, including on performance
days.
Up to date medical records must be on file with the school nurse (this includes Junior Bruins.) Major medical problems which require
medication, special diets, or frequent meals must be brought to the attention of the directors. Medication for self-carry students’
needs to be turned into the band office before departure to events.
-1-EVALUATION AND GRADING POLICY
Grading for students will be determined objectively and is subject to change as necessary to accommodate the class’ needs.
Marching Band students are graded on the following three categories:
▪ Musicianship: “Presentation” in MyPad
Instruments/auxiliary equipment need to be in good working condition.
All necessary items are to be brought to every rehearsal. This includes: music, lyre, flip folio, auxiliary equipment, dot book, pencil,
water bottle and appropriate marching footwear.
Uniform inspection will occur prior to performances. The uniform is to be neat and organized with all articles of the wardrobe
present following the band uniform guidelines (refer to uniform care.)
Inattentive behavior, disrespect, and excessive talking during rehearsals contribute negatively to the band’s success. Student
misconduct of any kind will result in a grade reduction and are subject to additional disciplinary action.
*** Students are given a set number of musicianship points each week. Students displaying poor musicianship will see a point
reduction based on the frequency or severity.
▪ Assessments: “Test” in MyPad
All music will be tested by a director. Music that is not passed will be retested until it is passed. Points will be lost the longer it takes
to pass the test.
Due to the nature of the class, drill can only be learned as a full group during rehearsal. Students are expected to fill out their
dotbooks before a drill is learned and those dotbooks will be checked.
Music & drill checks may occur throughout the season to ensure it is being performed correctly.
*** It is mandatory for all field music, drill, movement, and choreography to be memorized in time for the upcoming performance. It
is at the sole discretion of the director whether a member who is unprepared for a performance may perform. Removal from a
performance can have a significantly greater effect on the student’s grade.
▪ Attendance: “Participation” in MyPad
All students are expected to attend all rehearsals and performances (band shows, football games, parades, rallies, open house, etc.).
Students who are to be absent for any reason should contact the directors.
Absences: an absence may result in one or more of the following actions:
- makeup assignment
- deduction of grade
- loss of third quarter and/or performance status
- removal from leadership responsibilities
- dismissal from band
A pre-arranged absence request must be submitted through the online "Absence Request Form” (Link located on the MB Website &
the student's MyPad.) We ask that this form is submitted before the beginning of that week's events. This allows the director time to
confirm the absence and make the necessary accommodations.
In the event of an emergency or unexpected conflict, the student or parent is expected to contact the director through "Remind" or
email.
Tardiness: students are expected to be punctual for all band events. If arriving late or leaving early, a teacher pass or signed parent
letter must be provided (this also applies to students who drive themselves to band events).
*** The student must attend and perform in the event to receive full credit. If available, a student may complete a makeup
performance for partial credit (C).
-2-ATTENDANCE POLICY
▪ Missed Performance Policy
Due to the nature of “performance-based” classes, there is no distinction between an “excused” and “unexcused” absence from a
mandatory performance. The idea behind this is that a performance situation cannot be made up. If available, the student may
complete a makeup performance for partial credit.
▪ Missed Rehearsal Policy
Students can be excused from rehearsals under certain conditions. An absence request form must be submitted beforehand through
MyPad.
Reasons a student may miss a rehearsal:
- illness requiring absence from school (student must provide a note from a doctor or school nurse)
- death in the family
- required court appearance
- school related event/athletic commitment - the higher level event receives precedence (games supersede rehearsals,
performances supersede practices.) Any questions will be worked out between the student, coach, and director prior to the
event.
- other circumstances approved by a director
It is unacceptable to miss a rehearsal for:
- work. Student’s first obligation is to school and their classes. Employers should be notified well in advance of student
obligations to school events. Students should provide a copy of their calendar to assist the employer in scheduling.
- too much homework
- unable to get a ride
- attending a pop/rock concert
- an outside event unaffiliated with Padua (ie. travel sports teams, private lessons.)
*** In leu of current health concerns, we are understanding that any student who suddenly becomes ill after school is EXPECTED to
go home for the safety of the community. It is important for students to be mindful of the severity of this situation. An absence of
this nature will involve a phone call home and an arrangement for the student to be picked up or permitted to drive home with
parental consent.
BEHAVIOR
Expectations: all band members will conform to the rules and regulations set forth by the directors, Padua Franciscan HS, and/or by
the administration of the facility which the band is visiting. When two rules exist for a single issue, the stricter of the two rules will
be enforced. Rules and regulations apply during rehearsals and performances, regardless of the location of the band.
Paraphernalia: any possession and/or use of tobacco, alcohol, or drugs will be immediately reported to the administration and
handled according to the Padua Franciscan HS Student Handbook and/or Parent-Student Athletic Handbook.
Improper Behavior: Students who do not follow the expectations for behavior will receive a consequence (see “Performance
Procedures”.) Depending on the severity of the issue, consequences include, but are not limited to:
- losing minutes from free time during the third quarter of a football game or performance free time. Lost minutes are at the
director’s discretion.
- receiving a detention or implementation of other school disciplinary policies.
- loss of leadership status within the band.
PERFORMANCE PROCEDURES
Great bands look organized at all times! The conduct of the band at ANY event is important because of the impression that is left on
the general public. Poor discipline presents a negative impression on both the band and the Padua community as a whole. In
addition, the safety of the band members is always MOST important. The following performance procedures are expected from all
members at all time.
-3-[Performance Procedures continued…]
▪ Arrival at School:
Students will report to Padua High School by the call time. Instrumentalists will change into uniform in the appointed dressing
area and prepare any equipment for the performance. Auxiliary students should arrive in uniform. Medication for non-self-carry
students’ needs to be turned into the band office before inspection. Students are to be in full uniform and lined up in parade
block by inspection time.
For home football games all band members are required to join the football players and cheerleaders in the tradition of praying
and performing the Fight Song.
▪ Travel to/from events:
All band members are required to ride the bus to and from every performance. Additional concerns regarding transportation should
be discussed with the director prior to the event. When traveling to away events students are reminded that all school rules apply as
outlined in the PFHS Parent-Student Handbook. Students will remain in the bus seat at all times and will remain on the bus assigned
to them. Once the band arrives at the event, all students will remain on the buses until they are told to disembark. Students
responsible for equipment will get off buses first and unload the equipment. Any food or drink brought on the bus must be disposed
of appropriately upon returning to the school.
▪ Football Games:
During football games, students’ first obligation is to performing with the band and supporting the team. Students are expected to
be engaged with their performance throughout the game. This means that students will:
- Watch the field commander/director and be prepared to play at any point in the game. Do not play your instrument unless
the entire band is playing.
- Remain in the band stands, never leave the stands without permission from the directors. The stands are reserved for band
members only. Family and friends are permitted to visit during third-quarter break.
During the playing of the National Anthem, students will stand at attention facing the flag in a uniform manner. This is expected both
as the home band performing in pre-game and as the away band supporting the performance taking place on the field.
During third-quarter students are given a break from their performance obligations. Third-quarter break is a privilege granted by the
directors. During third-quarter students will:
- Remain in the stadium
- Remain in full uniform (hat may be removed)
- Have time to visit and interact with family and friends outside the band stands
- Be in their seats and ready to play at the time given to them by the directors.
➢ For home games, students may:
- Visit family and friends on the home side of the stands
- Use the restrooms or concession stands
- Enjoy snacks and beverages provided by the Marching Bruins Parents
- Engage with the visiting marching band
➢ For away games, students may:
- Have family and friend visitors come to say hello or bring snacks to the band stands
- Use the restrooms or concession stands where marching band staff are present
- Enjoy snacks and beverages provided by either the home band or the Marching Bruins Parents
*** Violation of these rules will result in the loss of third-quarter privileges.
At the conclusion of the game, students will clean up all trash and assemble on the track in parade block.
-4-[Performance Procedures continued…]
▪ Band Shows:
During band shows a different level of attentiveness is necessary. During the performances of the other bands students are to
refrain from talking and give their full attention to the other bands. Students will demonstrate courtesy and respect to their fellow
musicians by showing the appropriate appreciation following each band’s performance.
▪ Returning to School:
The band will be informed by the directors if there is to be a meeting prior to dismissal. If there is no meeting then students will
change out of and return uniforms, and unload and put away equipment. Leaders will ensure that the dressing areas and band room
are clean and that no items are left behind. Instrumentalists may use locker storage areas for instruments, music, folios, and other
small items. Marching band shoes are not permitted in storage lockers. Student are not permitted to leave until these final tasks are
complete. If there is to be a meeting, students will take seats in the band room. Students are to be respectfully engaged and
courteous to the information given. Students may not leave until a director has dismissed them.
UNIFORM CARE
ALL marching band students are required to purchase the band shirt. Each student is financially responsible for his or her school
owned uniform and equipment during the season. Some of the required items are ordered through PFHS; payments are collected
during May/June. All items should be purchased prior to band camp.
The full uniform is worn at all performances unless otherwise stated. A uniform inspection will be conducted prior to performances.
Students must be in full uniform from the time of the inspection until the end of the performance, unless otherwise stated
(exception to 3rd quarter hats.) Failure to be in appropriate uniform may result in reduction of grade or other consequence at the
director’s discretion.
- Only the uniform parts will be worn; no substitutions with personal clothing.
- No uniform, or parts of the uniform, shall be worn outside of any performance.
- Raincoats/warm-ups will be handed out to band members during uniform distribution on days that rain is eminent or
extreme cold is expected and will be worn throughout the performance as directed.
- No hems may be altered on any uniform. No items should hang out of the pant hem.
- All hair must be kept under the marching band hat (instrumentalists) or pulled back and away from the face as directed
by the directors. Facial hair and grooming must follow the PFHS Handbook.
- No exposed or dangling jewelry may be worn (a maximum of three non-dangling earrings in each ear). This includes
hoop earrings, necklaces, bracelets. Only instrumentalists may wear watches.
Instrumentalist Uniform: the parts of the musician uniform which are provided by the school include the hat, plume, coat, pants, and
raincoat. These items are given to each student prior to a performance and collected at the end of the evening. Each instrumentalist
must purchase the required white shoes with white laces and gloves (percussion and bass guitar do not need gloves.)
Color Guard Uniform: the parts of the Color Guard uniform which are provided by the school include the tunic, pants, and warm-up
jacket. This uniform is given to each student at the beginning of the season and is returned at the end of the season. Each student is
responsible for returning items clean and in good condition. Each Color Guard member must purchase the required shoes, white
tank top, white under armor long sleeve shirt, a hairpiece, a practice pole, and a practice silk.

other accessories as needed.

They have the exact items that you need listed in a file and usually in-stock.
Tell them that you are with the Padua Franciscan HS Marching Band when you arrive.
Woodwind/Brass Specifics
Flip Folders (near $10 each)
▪ Flip folders are available at most music retail stores.
▪ Please consider replacing the plastic rings with loose leaf metal rings for stability. These are available at office supply aisles
and stores. It is also recommended you order extra window sleeves to contain all your music (sold at music stores.)
▪ Flute/Piccolo flip folders attach on the wrist (sometimes sousaphone players prefer this style)
▪ All other instruments usually attach to a lyre; this is preferable for removing or flipping the flip folders at a fast rate (rather
than unscrewing them from the bell of a horn.)
Lyres (near $10 each)
Each instrument should have a place for a lyre; talk to the retail store about options. Here are some examples of what lyres look like
for each instrument. It is recommended that you take your instrument with you to the retail store so they can fit it with the correct
lyre type.
Clarinet Saxophone Trumpet Trombone Marching Baritone/Sousaphone
Depends on instrument model
Drumline (Percussion) Specifics
All members of drumline are required to have drumsticks, practice pad, and flip-folio.
The following products are recommended:
▪ Drumsticks ($9-12 per pair) - Snare: Vic Firth Corpsmaster Signature, Ralph Hardimon, Wood Tip
- Quads: Innovative Field Series FS2T Shorty Tenor Sticks
▪ Practice Pad - Vic Firth Heavy Hitter Slim Pad Marching Snare Practice Pad
- Quads: Vic Firth Heavy Hitter Small Quadropad
▪ Flip Folio - Same folio as woodwinds & brass (see above)
- You do NOT need to purchase a “drum lyre/mount” because this doesn’t attach easily to our equipment
Additional items include:
▪ Metronome - mobile apps like: TonalEnergy, Tempo Advance.
▪ Stick Tape - Scotch 3M Vinyl Electrical Tape – White
▪ Earplugs - Vic Firth High-Fidelity Earplugs
▪ Arm Sleeve (cymbal’s only) – Seavine Hornline Gloves – Long, Full Hand, White (contact Mr. Lantry for details)You can also read
