1) In compliance with University policy, each member of the WVU Band must be registered as a full-time student at West Virginia University (which means you must be registered for 12 hours). ANYONE THAT IS NOT A FULL-TIME WVU STUDENT MUST OBTAIN PERMISSION FROM MR. DRURY TO BE IN THE WVU BAND - NO EXCEPTIONS!!
2) You must register for "marching band" as a class (Music 100D) for a grade and credit. If you have a problem with this or are having troubles getting registered, please contact the Band Office immediately. ANYONE THAT IS NOT ABLE TO REGISTER FOR THE BAND CLASS MUST OBTAIN PERMISSION FROM MR. DRURY TO BE IN THE WVU BAND - NO EXCEPTIONS!!
3) You are NOT (repeat - NOT) to schedule any of your other classes at the same time as marching band (Tuesday - Friday from 4:00 until 5:50 p.m.). The ONLY acceptable excuse is having a required class or lab (in your major), which is not offered at any other time. NO OTHER CONFLICTS WILL BE ACCEPTED!! If you do have a conflict, you will need to obtain approval from Mr. Drury during band camp. The exact approval procedure will be discussed at camp.
Note that there is often more flexibility in your ability to schedule than you might think (ie. You don't necessarily have to take that GEC downtown class that ends at 3:45 if there are other sections available!). Please consult your academic advisor and explore the best possible options NOW during the summer months (before classes completely fill-up) for your fall semester scheduling.
4) An exact policy on attendance, various procedures, and grading for the 2009 season will be discussed in detail at camp. Please note: It will again be the policy that your attendance is required for every rehearsal and performance by the WVU Band. Only very legitimate reasons for missing will be considered.
