Pep Bands are required of all band members as they are graded on their participation and it is also counted towards earning their letter for band. Students are required to attend THEIR ASSIGNED PEP BANDS in order to receive full credit in class. To be considered for a letter in band, students must attend two extra games. If a student cannot make an assigned game they must obtain a substitute OF THE SAME INSTRUMENT and they must make up their absence.
There are two games on each date (with the exception of 2/19) and the students must stay for the entirety of BOTH GAMES. For lettering purposes, students can stay for one of the games to earn one extra attendance, or both for two extra, as long as they were not assigned to that date.
