Class assignments are posted below. Parents should
monitor their child's practice routine at home. Daily practice is crucial for a student's musical development
and success as a musician. Students should have a daily practice routine for their instrument or voice that is just
as important as homework, house chores, or video games. It is recommended that each band student practice at least 30
