OFFICIAL MSHS PEP BAND FAQ:
I’M ALREADY ENROLLED IN MANY DIFFICULT ACADEMIC CLASSES. I DON’T THINK I’LL HAVE TIME FOR PEP BAND AND HOMEWORK. ALTHOUGH BALANCING CLASSES AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES CAN BE TOUGH, STUDIES SHOW THAT STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN MUSIC OFTEN DO BETTER ACADEMICALLY THAN THEIR PEERS. YES, PEP BAND NIGHTS MAY TAKE UP YOUR WHOLE EVENING BUT PLEASE KEEP IN MIND WE ONLY MEET ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH (USUALLY ON TUESDAYS, OR FRIDAYS). WHAT DO I DO IF I CAN’T ATTEND A PEP BAND GAME? WHAT IF I CAN ONLY COME TO ONE OF THE GAMES AND NOT THE OTHER? IF YOU KNOW YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO COME BACK TO SCHOOL IN THE EVENING TO ATTEND PEP BAND, PLEASE LET A BAND DIRECTOR KNOW DURING CLASS THE DAY OF. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO COME TO ONE GAME BUT NOT THE SECOND, ALSO MAKE SURE YOU LET A BAND DIRECTOR KNOW. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU FOR AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ATTEND FOR. :) DO I NEED TO PROVIDE MY OWN TRANSPORTATION FOR GAMES? AS A GENERAL RULE, YOU’LL NEED TO PROVIDE YOUR OWN TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM GAMES. ALL GAMES ARE HELD AT MT. SPOKANE HIGH SCHOOL UNTIL PLAYOFF SEASON, WHERE WE MAY GET INVITED TO JOIN ON THE TEAM IN PLAYING AT THOSE GAMES, IN WHICH WE WOULD HAVE SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION TRANSPORTING US. IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE AND DON’T HAVE A RIDE, MAKE SURE YOU LET A BAND DIRECTOR AND/OR YOUR SECTION LEADER KNOW SO THEY CAN PRE-ARRANGE FOR YOU TO GET A RIDE TO AND FROM THE GAME. WE WILL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS SO EVERYONE IS ABLE TO GO THAT WANTS TOO. WHAT WILL I NEED FOR PEP BAND GAMES? YOUR INSTRUMENT AND SUPPLIES (REEDS, VALVE OIL, ETC) YOUR PEP BAND MUSIC BINDER (IN THE BIN AT SCHOOL) PEP BAND T-SHIRT (BAND SHIRT YOU RECEIVED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR) WATER AND MONEY FOR THE CONCESSION STANDS IF YOU WANT DINNER/SNACKS A READY-TO-HAVE-FUN ATTITUDE AND LOTS OF PEP!!! :) *SECTION WITH THE MOST “PEP” EACH GAME WINS! 😉 |
WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN?1.) SCHOOL SPIRIT 2.) FUN TIME WITH YOUR FELLOW BAND FRIENDS 3.) WATCH 2 INCREDIBLE BASKETBALL TEAMS P.S: IF YOU COME TO MOST/ALL OF THE PEP BAND GAMES DURING THE SEASON, AND ONE OR BOTH OF OUR TEAMS MAKE IT TO STATE, YOU MAY GET THE CHANCE TO TRAVEL TO TACOMA WITH THEM. WHAT SHOULD I KEEP IN MIND WHEN PARTICIPATING AT A PEP BAND GAME?
MAKE SURE YOU ARE ALWAYS WATCHING TO KNOW WHAT SONGS ARE UPCOMING. PLEASE FLIP TO THE APPROPRIATE SONG AND BE READY TO PLAY SO WHEN WE START PLAYING YOU ARE GOOD TO GO. ALSO, MAKING SURE TO BRING WATER WITH YOU ISN’T A BAD IDEA. IT CAN GET WARM IN THE GYM SOMETIMES. HOW DO I KNOW IF WE ARE STILL DOING PEP BAND AT THE GAME(S)? WE WILL BE PLAYING AT ALL GAMES LISTED ON YOUR SCHOOL YEAR BAND CALENDAR UNLESS… -THERE IS A SCHOOL CLOSURE -BAND DIRECTOR SENDS ALERT SAYING OTHERWISE -MSD CANCELS AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES HOW DO I GET MY CREDIT FOR BEING AT THE PEP BAND GAMES? PUT YOUR NAME ON THE PEP BAND ATTENDANCE SHEET AS SOON AS YOU ARRIVE TO THE BAND ROOM FOR THE PEP BAND GAME. IF YOUR NAME ISN’T ON THE ATTENDANCE SHEET, YOU WILL MOST LIKELY NOT GET CREDIT/RECOGNITION FOR ELIGIBILITY OF GOING ON THE STATE TRIP (IF ONE WERE TO OCCUR) |
