Applicant Instruction Sheet

(Band members must be 13-19 years of age)

The JPSO Band of Excellence (BOE) was formed to offer musicians a place to increase their skills and

talents during the school year. BOE sessions run the same time as a school calendar year. Practice

sessions are currently scheduled for Monday and Wednesday from 6-8 PM. There is also the occasion for

additional practice sessions throughout the year, mostly on Thursday, but involve a few Saturday and

Sunday practice sessions. The extra sessions are announced in advance.

During practice sessions, we discourage bringing expensive electronics, jewelry or headphones to

practice. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IN THE CASE OF LOSS OR DAMAGED .

 Members can not wear open shoes, slippers of any kind, short shorts, spaghetti strap shirts,

sagging pants, or muscle shirts during any practice session. No phone use while in session.

They must be turned off.

 Members are not allowed to leave the campus with anyone other than a parent unless the

administrator or band director is notified by a parent in advance.

 Please notify the administrator when your child will be absent. We document missed practices

and they count against the band member if they are not explained… Parents are the only

person who can provide an acceptable reason for an absence.

 Lockers are available, but you must provide the lock. 

Students are fed during practice sessions.

band session.
