How much does the Band rehearse after school?
Little. As was said earlier, the Marching Band (which is a combination of all band classes) rehearses 1 night per week (on some weeks, an extra rehearsal may be added) from the beginning of school until the first week of November. During the Spring Semester, each performing concert ensemble will have only 3 rehearsals each prior to the District Concert Band Festival in March. If an ensemble qualifies for the State Festival, it will have 1-2 rehearsals to prepare for that. A very few extra rehearsals may be called in addition to the above. We try to accomplish our musical goals during class time, using minimal time after school. After all…band directors want to get home too.
