All-State Music and Passoff Schedule
We are on a mission to create a better musical experience and better band program. Stronger individual musicians will create a stronger band program. You should hear your student practicing their All-State Music! These are test grades. Students can retest for higher grades before/after school, during flex, or video submission until the end of the grading period. In addition to helping students prepare for Region auditions, passoff grades are averaged to determine concert band placements for winter and spring concerts and performances.

GRADES! It is very important to stay on top of your grades from the BEGINNING! Turn in your assignments ON TIME and study for tests. Go to tutorials to get help. We need 100% of our Spartan Regiment to pass ALL of their classes. We prefer afternoon tutorials, but if the teacher only offers morning tutorials students are expected to attend morning rehearsal and then are dismissed at 8:05am to attend the 8:10am tutorial. Teacher must send Mr. Klein & Mr. Smith an email to confirm tutorial attendance.
Supply Checks are pass or fail, so if you are missing 1 item it is a zero. Students can bring items later for full credit before the end of the six weeks grading period. We do have supplies available for purchase in the band office (please have exact change).
