THE EASTERN BANDS PHILOSOPHY

SYSTEM + SPIRIT = SUCCESS The two most important attributes of a successful band program are a SYSTEM and SPIRIT. A SYSTEM is a way of doing things. It represents the total structure of our program, including: organization, procedures, activities, philosophies, teaching methods, marching and playing style, and policies. SPIRIT represents how individual band members respond to the SYSTEM. It includes practice habits, positive attitudes, mental discipline, and work ethic. When the SYSTEM is followed and good SPIRIT is in place, the result is success, and it’s by-products, including: pride, enthusiasm, loyalty, discipline, and dedication. (Permanently borrowed from Gary E. Smith, Director Emeritus, University of Illinois Marching Illini) Always focus on the The Three P’s: Pride, Passion, and Professionalism. You are Professional Students now! A wonderful journey lies ahead! BAND IS FAMILY. Take care of each other!

ATTENDANCE POLICY & GRADING CRITERIA

Attendance Policy

1. Rehearsals are scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:10 PM – 1:50 PM. At 12:10 PM (or the beginning of a scheduled rehearsal) the Drum Majors will sound whistles signaling the time to move to the attendance/stretching formation. Attendance will be taken and anyone who is tardy must sign-in with the Administrative Assistant. Name, time, and reason for tardiness are required.

2. Habitual tardiness will result in one or more of the following: alternate status, lowered grade, or dismissal from the band.

3. On Saturday, prior to kickoff of Greyhound home games, the band will meet for a final rehearsal of the pregame and halftime shows. Saturday rehearsals will be limited only to the time necessary to insure an outstanding performance. Prompt attendance is mandatory and you are expected to arrive early. If a member is late for a Saturday rehearsal, his/her marching privilege may be suspended for that game and he/she may assume alternate status at the discretion of the Director.

4. Sectionals called by the Directors and Student Leaders are mandatory unless you notify the Student Leader IN ADVANCE! The student leader will communicate the nature of your absence to the Director.

5. Failure to attend Greyhound Sound rehearsals will be recognized as an indication of your lack of interest in the ensemble and you may be dismissed at any time.

Grading Criteria At the collegiate level, ensemble rehearsals are considered academic courses (grades of A, B, C, D, and F are earned). Outside practice is essential and should be considered “homework”. The success of the GSMB depends largely upon your contributions as an ensemble member.

1. Attitude & Effectiveness- being punctual and productive, being a valuable team member.

2. Attendance- one unexcused absence will result in the lowering of your grade by one letter. Two tardies are equal to one unexcused absence. One unexcused performance will warrant a failing grade and possible dismissal from the GSMB.

Page 14: 2000 Eastern Band Staff - Eastern New Mexico University

An excused absence is an absence that is cleared with the Director at least three days before a rehearsal or at least two weeks before a performance. The student must submit a “Request for Absence” via email. In the event of an illness, written verification from your doctor must be submitted. Excused absences include: serious illness, death in the family, wedding in the immediate family (sister, brother, mother, father), officially sanctioned university travel, job interviews, and religious obligations. Unexcused absences include any absence not listed above. Unacceptable reasons to miss a rehearsal: “They needed me to work…” “I had a dorm meeting…” “My fraternity/sorority (anything)…” “I had to study…” “I went to my high school alumni band performance…” “I was stuck in a line at Wal-Mart…” “I thought it was Tuesday…” “I overslept…” “I backed over my trumpet…” “When I’m freaked out I can’t do anything…” “I had an exam…” “Mondays are free lunch days…” “I was working an extra shift at Wally World…” “I left my trombone in Dublin, Ireland…” “I couldn’t make bail…” “I’m sick (every other day)…” “It was too windy…” “I had to meet with my advisor…” “The voices told me not to…” “My dog ate my music…” “I got stuck in traffic…” “I ran out of my medication…” “My power went out…” “My roommate turned off my alarm…”

BETA LAMBDA CHAPTER OF KAPPA KAPPA PSI ESTABLISHED - MAY 8, 1949

The Eastern Bands are proud of their national honorary band fraternity- Kappa Kappa Psi. This organization works to assist the Directors in developing the leadership and enthusiasm that is required of all band members. Their goal is to “not only provide the bands with organized and concentrated service activities, but to give their membership valid and wholesome experiences in organization, leadership, and social contacts.” Chapter responsibilities include numerous service projects, as well as providing the intangibles: morale, spirit, enthusiasm, productive rehearsal atmosphere, and positive attitude. Membership in KKY is open to all students (by invitation) who are enrolled in an Eastern Band. Candidates participate in a membership education program of eight weeks before becoming “active”. Meetings are held once a month, leaving time for studies and other co-curricular activities. Like all active members, candidates must show their interest and desire in serving the ENMU Bands. The Fraternity is presently located in over 160 colleges and universities. Since 1919, more than 50,000 interested band members have devoted their efforts to strengthening their bands through group and individual service projects. The Fraternity's program of continued service to music has attracted the attention of the best from the American band tradition. KKY numbers among its ranks: John Philip Sousa, Karl King, Frank Simon, Herbert L. Clarke, Harold Bachman, Neil Armstrong, William D. Revelli, President Bill Clinton and many other contemporary composers, conductors, music educators, and professionals. At the 2009 and 2011 Kappa Kappa Psi & Tau Beta Sigma National Conventions in Phoenix and Colorado Springs, respectively, ENMU received the F. Lee Bowling Award.
