Lakewood Ranch High School Marching Band LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

April 9, 2015 Dear Future Band Member and Family, Congratulations on your decision to be a member of the LAKEWOOD RANCH MUSTANG MARCHING BAND. The marching band is one of the largest organizations at Lakewood Ranch High School. With membership of over one hundred members, the band attracts some of the most talented and active students in the school. Band kids are involved in numerous clubs and service organizations on campus; They have been Class Officers, Year Book Editors, National Honor Society members, Mr. Mustang, Academic Honor Students, members of all our athletic teams from Girls Softball to Boys Baseball, and they sometimes hold after school jobs. Last year, band members comprised a majority of the Student Government Association, and of course, many members of the academic top 10% were in band. So when you join the band at Lakewood Ranch you become a member of a very special family that derives its strength from its diverse and active membership. Band kids are the LEADERS of our student body! Read all the information carefully, ask your parents to read it and then go over it with them. Take time NOW to put the enclosed dates on your summer and fall calendars. Preparation is one of the keys to success, so plan now for next year. We need 100% of our members here 100% of the time to achieve 100% of our GOALS! Complete and return these ASAP: 1. COMPETITIVE MARCHING BAND APPLICATION 2. MEDICAL FORM 3. INVOICE AND FINANCIAL OBLIGATION Forms should be given to your directors in the band office at LAKEWOOD RANCH HIGH SCHOOL. Being a member of the "Marching Mustangs" offers you the opportunity to be a part of some very fine traditions for the years to come. Traditions are important to organizations such as marching band. Our tradition is one of hard work and great rewards. We have had performances throughout Manatee County and the State of Florida. We have earned a second place finish in the Fiesta Bowl National Band Pageant, the Bands of America National Band Championships in Indianapolis, the Main Street Parade at Disneyworld and the halftime extravaganza at the Allstate Sugar Bowl. We are a six-time state finalist at the FMBC State Championships! 2012 saw the band go UNDEFEATED in their competitive class during the season (4-0), and it culminated with an amazing 3rd place finish in 4A! Hard work is the secret behind this tradition and it will take a maximum effort from you to maintain the superior standards set by those before you. Hard work will enable us to continue to grow into one of the finest high school bands in the state of Florida.

It will be the marching band’s goal to support our football team by attending and performing at Friday night games. Another goal will be to earn a *Superior* rating at the Florida Band Masters District Marching Band Festival and to be a Finalist at the FMBC Championships. It will also be our goal to represent Lakewood Ranch High School whenever possible and show the community what a fine organization we have. Please allow us to welcome you to our musical family - We charge you to meet the challenges that are before you. With the right attitude and a commitment to try your hardest, you will reach goals you never before dreamed possible. As you grow, our band will grow. Remember: SPIRIT + SYSTEM = SUCCESS! Should you need to ask any questions concerning the enclosed materials, call the LRHS Band Office at 727-6100 x 2029 and leave a message for Mr. Lambert at LambertR@manateeschools.net. Musically Yours, Ron Lambert Director

Event Notes: Spring Mini-Camps & Tryouts - Wear light clothing like Shorts, T-shirts, Tennis Shoes, hat. Sunscreen,

sunglasses and water bottle are mandatory! Parents Show; Band, don’t forget to invite your parents, relatives & neighbors! BAND CAMP is a very important time set aside specifically to work on marching and playing

fundamentals and to get a head start on our pre-game and competition shows. We start about the same time as the football team. It is very important that all band members be present for band camp. This usually means sacrifice on all our parts in terms of summer jobs, vacations, and school shopping. However, only sacrifice and commitment on all our parts can produce a top-notch marching band. Our substantial investment at the beginning of the year pays dividends at the end when it really counts!

Lakewood Ranch High School Marching Band POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

1. Band & Sectional Rehearsals – Once school starts, marching band rehearses on Tuesday Afternoons from 6pm to 9pm and Thursdays from 6 to 9pm. Music & Marching check-offs will be administered by the band directors during this time. Color Guard and Drum Line and other Sectionals will take place Wednesdays after school from 2:30 to 5:00pm. 2. Uniforms – You will be fitted during basics camp. Your uniform rental fee (which is a part of your band fees) includes rental and dry-cleaning of pants, jacket and hat. You will receive a Marching Band Shirt, Flip Folder, gloves and a dot book during band camp. Students must purchase their own black socks. 3. Music and Equipment –Every Band Member is expected to keep their Show Music and Exercise Packets in a 3-ring notebook with clear plastic page holders. That folder will be used EVERYDAY during the season and should be neat and organized. All musicians will be provided with a packet of stands & pre-game music at the beginning of band camp. Flip Folders and lyres are provided as part of the uniform fee. Students will need to visit a music store to have their instrument fitted for a lyre attachment brace if there is not one already on your horn. ****The following mouthpieces are mandatory for our Wind Musicians:

Clarinets: Van Doren B-45 or Yamaha 4C. Alto Saxophones Selmer “C” Star or Yamaha 4C. Tenor Saxes Selmer Single “C” Star or Yamaha 4C. Baritone Sax Selmer “C” Star or Yamaha 5C. French Horns Schilke 30, Mellophones Yamaha YAC MP-14F4. Trumpets Bach 3C. Trombone and Baritone Bach 6 1/2 AL or Yamaha 48. LRHS Tubas will use the Hellenberg Mouthpiece exclusively.

Utilizing a better mouthpiece will allow you to play in tune with better tone quality and develop your embouchure. Clarinets and Saxophones are expected to have two working reeds at all times. High school players should be playing on medium and medium hard strength reeds. Having a quality reed helps to assure a good sound.

4. Attendance Policy - You must attend all practices, please plan accordingly. You will not be excused from practice for work or other appointments. Where possible, prior notice for absences is required. Please submit said notices via voice mail and/or email only, verbal notice will not be considered. Parents may call 727-6100 x 2029 and leave a message. ALL absences must be documented; present a note from your parents to the band secretary at the next practice you attend. Students with an unexcused absences will be put on alternate status. Two unexcused absences will result in your removal from marching band. This policy is not intended to frighten anyone who has a legitimate absence excuse. It’s important that all of our members be present, be on time, and stay until the band is dismissed. Goal: 100%!

Tardiness shall not be tolerated. Attendance is taken from our tag board, you must turn your tag over to the color of the day when you arrive. You must be prepared to begin practice at the time scheduled therefore allow enough time to get instrument, setup equipment and turn YOUR tag. The tag board is closed promptly at the call to practice. Anyone found turning another members tag shall be deemed tardy as well. If you are late because of some unforeseen circumstance, you will still need to serve a demerit after that practice. You may not flip your tag after rehearsal has begun. The procedure for being tardy is for you to report to the band secretary upon arrival so you can be marked present. Three tardies equals one unexcused absence!

You must attend all performances. It is your responsibility to clear all performance dates on your social, personal, family, and work calendars. You will not be excused from a performance unless you are severely ill. An unexcused absence from a performance will result in your dismissal from marching band. You MUST attend all performances in full uniform even if you are unable to perform. All students are required to attend school the day or a performance or practice.

Avoid Conflicts. Be aware of the rehearsals, competition and mini-camp dates pursuant to the schedule provided. Marching Band is a team effort and to be successful, everyone needs to be there. Parents, if you're planning to schedule a vacation or other activity, please consider your child’s band mates. When your child is absent not only will he or she fall behind but it also affects the entire band. It is very difficult for other students to perform with "holes" on the field and with members who have missed critical field time.

Unannounced performances We receive many requests for our marching band to perform and represent Lakewood Ranch High School throughout eastern Manatee County. All performances that are given to you now on the Marching Band Schedule will be required. As other requests for our marching band come in, the band staff will evaluate whether we are able to perform based on known conflicts. When an extra performance is pending, students will be asked to identify conflicts with the date. If we confirm that we are able to perform, requests to be excused from that performance will be handled on an individual basis.

5. Demerit system - Students can receive demerits for improper decorum, inappropriate behavior, insubordination, disruptive talking, chewing gum, failure to memorize music and drill, tardiness, or failing inspection. Students must work off their demerits the day they are received by completing work detail to assist the band. Demerit assignments are made at the end of each practice. Everyone is expected to cheerfully comply with the work detail. These details typically are less than fifteen minutes and provide a necessary service. If you fail to serve your demerit, you will not perform that week and you may be dismissed from marching band. 6. Alternates & GPA Eligibility - Alternates will be chosen on the basis of their grade point average and their playing and marching ability. A check-off system will be used to evaluate marching and playing ability. The FHSAA eligibility requirements state that a student must have a cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.0 or above in order to be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities. Marching Band students with less than a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.0 will automatically be put on alternate status. This means you can practice with the marching band but cannot perform at games or FBA MPA until your GPA improves to a 2.0. Alternates must be present at every practice and performance. Alternates are regular members of the marching band. Students chosen as alternates at the beginning of the season will have the opportunity to challenge for a permanent position when they reach a 2.0 GPA or when they have passed their playing and marching tests. The use of this alternate system will allow us to go to competitions without any holes in the show. Alternates will be assigned to “shadow” a position on the field, so they can learn drill. They may challenge the person they are shadowing for the spot weekly. Music check-off will take place on Thursday and played for Mr. Lambert and section leaders. Marching check-offs will be done by Visual Staff and Section leaders. Students not passing music check-offs will not perform and may be put on alternate status until the check-off is successfully completed. 7. Band Managers provide a vital service to the marching band. They are expected to be present at all practices and performances to assist the band in handling equipment. They are considered regular members of the marching band. They march with the band to and from the stadium and at parades. If any band member has a friend that would like to be a part of the marching band, have them contact one of the band directors. Band managers receive community service hours credit for their service and have dues that cover the cost of their uniform and Nutritional Support. 8. FUN-draising - Each marching band member is expected to participate in FUN-draising events where possible. 9. Electronic Devices - There will be NO cell phones at rehearsal or during performances– your complete attention is required at all times! Phones will stay in backpacks/lockers upon arrival. If you must make a call during rehearsal ask an instructor for permission. We cannot afford to have texts, calls, email Facebook, etc. during our focused rehearsals. 10. Public Appearance - Please remember that while you are with our group you represent yourself and everyone else in our organization. Breaking the law, smoking, drinking, using controlled substances, improper decorum or any of the alike, will not be tolerated and may be grounds for dismissal from the band. We must always be respectful of our competitors. Applaud sincerely and speak positively of other groups when in public. Competition and Mutual respect fuel our activity – the other teams are student musicians trying as hard as they can to put on a great show. 11. Social Media - There is a ZERO tolerance policy for defamation or bullying in our group.

If you wouldn’t want something negative said/posted about YOU personally, don’t say/post it about someone else, your staff or the organization (and others) on TWITTERFACESPACE sort of stuff. Remember, once you hit send you can never take it back!

Members and Staff are NOT allowed to engage in personal discussions on social media sites. If you have a question that demands attention, send an email to Mr. Lambert.

12. The Mustang Trailers

Loading - With cased instrument in hand, form a single line in reverse score order (brass then woodwinds), away from the back of the trailer. Tuba and Drum line load at the side door. Tuba’s and drum line will be asked to come to the back of the trailer first. Once tubas and drum line are loaded, ranch hands will call for everybody else. Bring the line to the back of the trailer and become an assembly line handing each case, one at a time, until all cases are loaded. Demerits CAN be issued by ranch hands for horseplay or disrespect.

Unloading - Form a single line in reverse score order (brass then woodwinds), away from the back of the trailer with the tubas and drum line at the side door. When you are handed your case, place it on the ground in front of you and continue passing cases until all cases are unloaded. At that time drum majors, will dismiss the line to unpack or put instruments away. At performances, leave cases on the ground and report to arcs. Ranch Hands will help load the cases on the trailers. If there is prop trailer, stay clear of the back of the trailer while Ranch Hands unload.

13. The Mustang Buses Bus Captains - Two Bus Capt.’s will be chosen from amongst the officers and assigned to each bus. Their job is to

take attendance and monitor the behavior and cleanliness of the bus. Chaperones will speak to the bus Capt. first if any problem occurs. Bus Captains will pick up their bus clipboard before going to the bus and are responsible for returning it to the band office once we return home. Bus captains have authority. They can issue demerits.

Bus Riding Rules - o All school rules and policies apply when riding the buses: o Keep head and hands inside the bus, NEVER throw anything out of a school bus window! o No food or drink is to be taken on the bus unless authorized by the director/bus drivers. o Rude behavior , Abusive language, swearing, screaming, or loud whistling is NOT permitted. o Check around your bus before it leaves and after it arrives to be sure you take all equipment. o Each bus is to be checked for equipment & any trash we may have left on the bus. o Students are to be completely quiet when approaching and crossing Railroad Tracks. o No students will be permitted to sit under a blanket! PDA Schools Rules apply!!!! o Cheering and singing is usually allowed depending on your driver. Ask if in doubt. o Demerits are announced by the bus captains upon arrival at LRHS; they will dismiss you once you have

completed the following tasks: #1) Clean The Bus (Bus captain will dismiss you to the band room). #2) Assist Uniform moms with collecting uniforms including yours. #3) Assist band officers with cleaning and setting up the band room.

14. Band-In-The-Stands - Everyone is expected to play and cheer in the stands. EVERYBODY ALL OF THE TIME! We are there to support the team. Have your music ready when required. Flip Folders Must be with you at all times in the stands! Handle your instrument responsibly and DO NOT PLAY OTHER MEMBERS’ INSTRUMENTS. Your attention to excellence in the stands has to match your performance on the field! Boosters will cover the seats to help keep our uniforms clean. We will sit/stand in and organized fashion, filling the seats and keeping our spacing and facing neat! Only stand on the seats when we play.

Water Passed Out After Pregame - Boosters will be in the stands to pass out water to you when you get in the stands after the pre-game show. Help them out by paying attention and passing cups down your row. Students are not permitted to go get a drink or food from the concession stand until the 3rd Quarter Break.

Third Quarter Break - It is our tradition (home and away) to take a break during the third quarter to get a drink and something to eat, so bring some money. Directions for the proper concession stand and rest room to visit will be given at the game. We need you to return to our stands ASAP after the concession and rest rooms. We will start to play in support of the team as soon as the fourth quarter begins. Anyone not ready to play at the 3rd quarter buzzer will have demerit duty after the game. Drum-Offs and visiting with family/friends will be revoked if there is abuse of the Fourth Quarter deadline!

After The Game - We will always play the Alma Mater for our football team at the end of the game. We then make a tunnel in front of our stands and march through the tunnel single file to the flagpoles. No Horseplay here! After staff announcements and the reading of the demerit roster, you will be dismissed. Go into the band room and put your instrument away. We always leave our House in Order!

Parent Pick Up Time - Parents can plan to pick you up from home games at approximately 10:30pm. Band members are never released early (unless bad weather). Pick Up times for Away Games vary based on the distance and travel time. Estimated arrival times will always be posted in the MMNs and should be heeded! Adult supervision is only mandated for 30 minutes after dismissal. PLEASE encourage prompt pickups from your family.

Costs:

The Lakewood Ranch Marching Band Program has been a state ranked competitive marching band program since the school’s

founding in 1997. In order to field a band that achieves the levels of musicianship and performance that the Mustangs are

accustomed to, the organization requires an investment in quality instruction, musical arrangement, appearance, etc. The band

boosters strive each year to set a budget that is within the means of a majority of students. Fund raising is an important part of

trying to meet these goals. The Boosters recognize that some students are better at fund raising than others, thus the Fair Share

was developed. The costs are divided by the number of students and a fair share fee is developed.

Our largest fundraisers are built into our budget. Every family benefits from the money raised in the concession stand for football

and soccer games, as well as any other events that come along. We also host our own FMBC show each year and the money

made at that event benefits every family. It is in the best interest of every family to support these activities. It takes a lot of work to

make these activities successful and insure that we are able to continue these things. Without these fundraisers, our fees would

necessarily be higher.

Questions about how the budget is developed and how the band boosters allocate funds raised can be answered at the monthly

Band Booster meetings. These are the FIRST TUESDAY of each month in the band room at 7:30.

Because the concession stand is a huge part of our fundraising, in order to earn the credit, we require you or your band student to work at least one time in the concession stand during soccer season, which extends into January. These are NOT the same hours you student may work to earn for community service hours for the Bright Futures scholarship awards. Refund Policy: If a student decides not to continue participation in Marching Band before August 7, 2015 (End of the first week of Band Camp), a refund will be provided. The amount is dependent on materials bought for that Marching Band Member up to that point. Costs associated with t-shirts, gloves, hats, Color Guard uniform, tights, shoes will be deducted from the refund. Guard Uniform: Color Guard uniforms are custom made for each individual guard member. Uniforms are generally ordered by the first week in June. At least $250 in fees will need to be paid BEFORE the guard uniform is ordered. (If the Payment schedule is followed this will not be a problem) Uniforms take 2 months to make. Therefore, if the fees are not received and the uniform cannot be purchased, the color guard member will not be able to participate in the competitive portion of marching band. Participation Policy: If a student has a substantial balance at the Beginning of Band Camp they WILL NOT be allowed to continue participation in Marching Band. Fund Raising Policy: The Band Booster Association tries to organize a number of Fund Raisers over the course of the year. For certain fundraisers, money raised by an individual student may go towards that individual student’s Band Trip Fees. Tax-Deductible Donations: If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to the Lakewood Ranch Band Program, this can be done from the lakewoodranchbands.org website.
