What after-school rehearsals are typical?
The marching and concert bands generally rehearse for 2 hours a week after school for most of the year. There are weeks where we take a break and do not rehearse. These marching/concert rehearsals are required and count towards the student’s grade. The jazz bands generally rehearse for 2 hours a week after school in addition to the marching/concert rehearsal. Participation in the jazz bands is voluntary. The Musical rehearsals are generally held in the month of March and are 4-5 days a week after school. As the performance dates get close, rehearsals of 4-5 hours are not uncommon. However, participation in the Musical is voluntary.
