at a previous school, 5A which is 6A now, we had 5 directors that traveled to every campus. The principals did not like it, but we felt it utilized our staff to its full potential. There were 4 bands at the HS plus colorguard and jazz band, 3 bands at the MS and 5 beginner classes. At the high school, 2 bands met at the same time for all 4 bands. The top 2 bands had HS and MS staff. The intermediate director had a percussion class that he handled alone. At the HS, for the 3rd and 4th bands, 1 HS staff and the Intermediate director handled them. The HS assistant handled the Colorguard and the Intermediate director handled the Jazz Band. At the MS, each band met at a separte time and for the top MS band, the MS staff handled it. The 2nd band was covered by the HS assistant and the MS assistant. The 3rd band was directed by the Intermediate director. All staff covered beginners through the day when bands were covered. The challenge came when the campusses would have varied bell schedules for different reasons. It left us scrambling to make sure everything was covered.
