Re: testing, field trips, et. al. no rehearsal
Unfortunately, its rampant just about everywhere. If you have good admin that truly want programs to be successful, then you can make it out ok. We go to contest tomorrow and have only had 2 full rehearsals in the last 3 weeks!! I have about 12-15 kids that have NOT even been in the band hall since last Monday. Here, they put them in testing rooms, and make them all stay there until every kid is finished with the testing. Last week, our 8th grade kiddos were in rooms from 7:45-2:30. When I talked to my band kids, the latest time any of them finished was 10:15. But its not just me losing time, other teachers are also loosing instructional time on those days as well. It hits harder for us though because we have multiple grade levels in our classes.
