Rules

i was wondering if you guys had rules for a troubled line, I've come up with some for ours as the BD asked here they are
Rule 1 No stupidity or horseplay will be tolerated During Band Rehearsal time.
Rule 2 We will not show anything less than professionalism
Rule 3 if you drop concert band (without good reason) and are on bass do not expect a snare/tenor spot in next years marching season
Rule 4 if you are a snare and drop concert band do not whine if you don't get snare the next year
Rule 5 we will move from rehearsal zone to rehearsal zone in an orderly fashion
Rule 6 Superior is not an option it is a privilege and must be earned
Rule 7 missing practices is not tolerated
Rule 8 breaking one of the above rules results in laps/push ups
Rule 9 being on time is a must
Rule 10 Your responsible for your own equipment, do not tear up carriers or purposefully damage our instruments, these things cost money.
Rule 11 Do not talk while the director is speaking or while standing at attention
Rule 12 Do not break attention
Rule 13 Do not take off your instrument unless granted permission
Rule 14 don't suck
i was wondering also if these are too harsh?

rule 4 is because we only have so many snares to be issued, and im not sure if we can order new ones yet . . .

I've seen a number of posts, here and there, that mention intentional destruction of equipment -- from picking fuzz off of puff mallets and intentional breaking of heads to mistreatment of drums and carriers.
So, I make the following proposal:
Parents and students must sign and date a sheet, to be kept on file, stating that they are financially responsible for damage to instruments due to intentional mistreatment/abuse, vandalism (e.g. picking fuzz off mallets, poking hole in drum heads with a pen, etc.) or horseplay.
No signatures = no drumming. I suggest a new sheet every year.
This would obviously have to be a band director issued item, and might need approval from the principal and/or school board.
Let's see kids intentionally tear stuff up when their parents will come down on them for it, and even the most lackadaisical parent will take notice when they find out how much this stuff costs.
I also think that it would be a good idea to assign a student to a particular instrument or carrier for as long as they are on that instrument until they graduate -- no more "seniors get the equipment that's in the best condition" crap. If they want a "good" piece of equipment they'd better take good care of it and have it fixed or fix it themselves if it's broken or held together with duct tape.

amen to that!!!!! I do that with my students, but if one breaks soemthing i divide the cost to the entire drumline. So some numb nuts throws his cymbals on the ground and cracks them that = him plus 31 more people to pay for it. I dont charge them for stuff such as accidents, or wear n tear. But it is as seriouse as if you dont pay you dont graduate as will be an example in 2 weeks when 2 of my seniors who did the most damage refuse to pay plus other fees they owe the school.

I understand some of these rules such as being on time and not talking while the BD is talking, but rules such as not doing concert season? I did my full set of concert seasons but I really didn't care for them. Most college drummers only do marching band just for the line. Drummers don't need concert season to learn rudiments and such. I have my line tryout every year and as long as I didn't have a problem with them, they can tryout for whatever they want and if their good enough, they have earned that decision. Also their school work is important so extra classes can also be good for them so I would say chill on the whole you better be in concert band or else.

Yea dont say No snare/tenor spots if your bass and u drop concert band,That makes Bass drum seem like a lower instrument.It really isn't.It's just as hard and at times more challenging than snares/tenors. (This is NOT because i play bass,i also play snare) Just drop rules 3 and 4 and your golden

Honestly, I gotta agree with every rule here. If drummers here don't have time for concert band, they don't have time to perfect their snare or tenor parts, since that's all our concert percussion really does during class.
Of course, there are schedualing conflicts, but otherwise, dropping concert band should be a sure fire way to find yourself playing bass next year.

Because private lessons out of class as well as individual, self-motivated practice outside of the normal school day is a completely radical and worthless idea that wouldn't ever allow for improvement on a part.
right...
How about your concert percussion works on the concert band music? Besides, since when should a supposed 'irresponsible' and 'undedicated' member be put in a bass line? Bass line should be some of your better and more dedicated players. A run sounds like crap with one person missing.
I disagree with the two concert band rules.

Deeeefinitely didn't say that. The problem (here) is that very, very few of the individuals are motivated enough to even consider practicing outside of school.

First few weeks of school, we do run throughs of the show and pep band during concert band classes.

By all means, I agree. I don't know why people don't want to play bass, but if they don't have the responsibility/dedication to learn a bass part, why would I trust them with a set of tenors or a snare...? :/
Gah, back on topic, I'm thinkin' that mayhaps the rules about concert band aren't quite up to it during the off season. Second semester of school, we focus more on concert music, and though it'd be beneficial for percussionists to be in the class, I can't see how it would murder them if they weren't.
Unless they don't pick up a pair of sticks until July. There might be a problem then. >.<

I dunno. I thought the rules seemed kinda immature. They seemed kinda pessimistic, too.
Here are the rules in our drumline handbook:
-Do not be late. If you are going to be late call someone
-Do make sure that if you are on time that you help the whole team to get ready for rehearsal (esp. pit equipment)
-Do not make noise or play on your instrument when the director, staff, or section leaders are speaking.
-Do have fun in helping to teach others what you already know so that the whole section is ready
-Do take your music home and practice it.
-Do not ridicule eachother
-Do remember that the pit and battery are one team and must work together on and off the field
Also, it defeats the purpose of telling people to be professional if one of your rules is "don't suck". That seems like an un-professional thing to say.

yeah 3 & 4 seem a little questionable to me too.. but at my school as Sajre said, marching band is an extra curricular activity. We have many, many scheduling conflicts at my high school and half of the honors kids CAN'T schedule band. Its near impossible. That may be why we only had 18 kids in concert band last year....
I can understand these rules though. It would be really nice to learn rudiments and show parts in concert band. Unfortunately we only have one concert band class a year and its usually if not always in the second semester and first or fourth block.
