Re: Article XVI - Competition Festivals, Section 2 - Classification of Bands
Insert the following in letter "a" after classification C and before classification D.
DD Band programs whose school mandates Junior High and Senior High students in the same concert band class. ("DD" bands with 7th - 12th grade students must play from classification "C" or higher. "DD" bands with 8th - 12th grade students must play from classification "CC" or higher).
Rationale:
Many schools in our State have gone to one band class combining 7th - 12th grade students. The reasons are many and varied, ranging from funding to problems with block scheduling. As an example: A high school that has an enrollment of 525 students in grades 9-12 would be required to play form the B classification. If the band class at that high school is made up of students in grades 7-12 it is not reasonable to require 7th and 8th grade students to perform literature from the B classification, especially when the 7th grade students have had one year of beginning band experience. This DD classification will allow these band programs to perform literature that is better suited to their situation.
This should result in encouraging
these programs to participate in District and State Competitions thereby giving them a better opportuni- ty to experience success.
