"Requirements" Deadline / Online Submissions

3/26/2012

 
Hi All,

I just wanted to send a quick note clarifying how band "Requirements"work. Term 3 Band and Jazz Band requirements are due on April 5th by5:00pm. All band 9-12 classes and the two jazz bands have requirements consisting of scales and studies/"etudes". Performing these "assignments"is worth 20% of students' marks and they are looked at/rehearsed daily in our classes.

Your student has the following options for completing these:
1.) Play them in class in front of me and their peers.
2.) Submit a video recording to me (DVD, CD, Flashdrive, Tape etc.)
3.) Submit an audio recording to me (CD, Tape, mp3 file etc.)

*NEW* The band website now allows for online submissions. Students can record themselves playing their requirements and upload them directly tothe website. Only I can see these and the site is very secure. 

Go to www.spectrumband.ca > Hover over the "Students" tab and > Click on"Requirements / Online Submissions" > Fill out the form and attach your mp3 or video files and upload them to the web (note: this may take a few moments to upload).

At this time, files can't exceed 20mb in size so one study or scale set per upload please.

***Copies of the current Requirements and Term Mark Break Downs are alsoavailable on this page. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need help or have questions.

Jamie Davis
