"3 INTRODUCTION Congratulations, and welcome to the Longfellow Spartan Band! We are one of the top organizations on campus, and take great pride in all our endeavors. There is a lot of tradition at Longfellow Middle School, much of which extends to the band program. Over the years, the Spartan Bands have maintained high standards in excellence, performance, behavior, and academics. Some of these achievements include: • The Honor Band has receiving consistent Superior Ratings (1st Division) at UIL Concert & Sightreading Contest since 1998. • Spartan Band members earning placements in both District Honor Band and Region Band on a yearly basis. • The Honor Band has received 15 consecutive “Sweepstakes” Awards at UIL Concert & Sightreading Contest. • The Honor Band has receiving the “Outstanding Performance Award” at the Texas Lutheran University Band Festival for 12 years, and the “Exceptional Musician Award” in 2013. • The Honor Band receiving 1st Division, “Outstanding Performance” and “Best in Class” Awards at the Big-D American Classics Festival in Dallas, TX in 2015. This Band Handbook has been created for both students and parents to outline our expectations for all Spartan Band members. These guidelines include behavioral and academic expectations, policies, procedures, and other important criteria for maintaining excellence. Parents, please feel free to contact us for any questions you may have. Our hope is that your child has a great band experience so that we can make… The Legacy Continue!

Yearly band placement in each band and occasional changes are based on instrumentation needs and limitations, eligibility status, overall performance and consistent progress, attendance at band functions, attitude and behavior, and audition. It is at the discretion of the band directors to place each student in the band where they will excel and be the most successful. HONOR BAND (Mr. Tullos, director) is the top-performing group; designed for students who demonstrate a high level of academic achievement and outstanding musical competency. This band represents the school at several musical events, and requires a commitment to excellence in musicianship and teamwork. Requirements for all Honor Band members: • Participating in school-related performances, including marching band showcase, pep rallies, winter and spring concerts, UIL and pre-UIL Concert & Sightreading Evaluations, and elementary recruitment concerts • Auditioning for District Honor Band, and District Solo & Ensemble Contest (class III solo) • Demonstrating musical competency through performing Region Concert Scales • Maintaining academic and behavioral excellence in all classes • Attending weekly sectionals SYMPHONIC BAND (Mr. Bahta & Ms. Perez, directors) is open to students with at least one year of successful band experience. Symphonic Band is designed to develop musical fundamentals in order to prepare students for more advanced ensemble experiences. Requirements for all Symphonic Band members: • Participating in school-related performances, including marching band showcase, pep rallies, winter and spring concerts, UIL and pre-UIL Concert & Sightreading Evaluations • Auditioning for District Honor Band and District Solo/ Ensemble Contest • Maintaining academic and behavioral excellence in all classes BEGINNER BAND is open to any student with little or no band experience. It is designed to start students on a band instrument and to learn music fundamentals. Beginner instruments include flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, french horn, baritone, tuba, and percussion. Any 7th or 8th grade students who progress quickly may advance to either Symphonic or Honor Band, at the approval of the band directors. All members will have the opportunity to participate in school concerts, competitions, and District Solo/ Ensemble Contest. "6 PRACTICE EXPECTATIONS, PRACTICE RECORDS, & SECTIONALS It is required for all band members to take their instruments home to practice a minimum of 30 minutes a day. Because our school runs on a blocked schedule format, students will only have Band every-other-day. It is critical that our students’ musical technique and skills develop correctly, which can be achieved by spending time each day and practice. Beginner band members will not be taking their instruments home for the first few weeks until they are able to demonstrate the basics of instrument carriage, assembly, and tone production. All band members will be issued a Practice Record at the beginning of the each week. Students are to record the amount of time (in minutes) they’ve practice each day, and write what they specifically worked on during that time. Practice Records are counted as homework assignments (see Grading Guidelines) that are due every Monday or Tuesday. Sectionals are designated times outside of class rehearsal for band members to gain additional practice so they may improve their technique and music. Sectionals take place either before school (7:45-8:30 AM) or after school (4:15-5:15 PM). Students will be notified after the first two weeks of school when their sectional is to take place. All Honor Band members will be required to attend a sectional once a week. Any band member that fails to attend their sectional may not be allowed to participate in extracurricular performances, and/or placed in a lower level band. GRADING GUIDELINES The following grading breakdown will be used for all band members: Assessments (40%) — performances, written and playing tests, writing quizzes/ tests, mid- term projects, district/ region audition material for advanced students, and concert/sight-reading evaluations. Homework (60%) — daily/ weekly participation, rhythm studies, music theory assignments, practice records, supply inspections, and weekly assignment sheets. ELIGIBILITY Texas law enforces the “No Pass, No Play” rule; any student with a grade average

  • Virginia Woolf & String Quartets Concert
    Virginia Woolf & String Quartets Robinson College Chapel Cambridge 3 November 2016, 7.45pm Kreutzer Quartet Peter Sheppard Skærved – Violin Mihailo Trandafilovski – Violin Clifton Harrison – Viola Neil Heyde – Cello Kindly supported by PREFACE Welcome to the third concert of ‘Virginia Woolf & Music’. The project explores the role of music in Woolf’s life and afterlives: it includes new commissions, world premieres and little-known music by women composers. Outreach activities and educational resources have been central to the project since it began in 2015. Concerts on Woolf and Bloomsbury continue throughout 2016- 17. For further details see: http://virginiawoolfmusic.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk Woolf (1882-1941) was a knowledgeable, almost daily, listener to ‘classical’ music, fascinated by the cultural practice of music and by the relationships between music and writing. Towards the end of her life she famously remarked, ‘I always think of my books as music before I write them’. Her writing continues to inspire composers who have set her words or responded more obliquely to her work. This concert takes its cue from Woolf’s extraordinary experimental short fiction, ‘The String Quartet’ (1921). The work explores the pleasures and frustrations of ‘capturing’ music in language. Juxtaposing the banal remarks that frame the performance with the exuberant flights of fancy that unfold during the playing, Woolf’s work celebrates music’s capacity to stimulate memories and associations. And it celebrates too music’s own ‘weaving’ into a formal ‘pattern’ and ‘consummation’. On 7 March 1920, Woolf attended a concert that included a Schubert quintet ‘to take notes for my story’.
