Syllabus. All band students received an orange packet of information that highlights all you need to know about being in the band at East Cobb. Pages marked with an "X" in the top, right-hand corner need to be filled out and returned. Here is the syllabus that you can download: Download Syllabus 1112
Lockers. We are fortunate here at East Cobb to have a large selection of instrument lockers for students to use, and many students will be using lockers this year to store their instruments. The locker form is yellow and needs to be signed and returned before a student will be issued a locker. Here is the locker form: Download Locker Policy 1112
School-owned instruments. We are aware that situations arise and students need to use a school-owned instrument. Sometimes the reasons are financial in nature; sometimes the student's choice of instrument is more conducive for using a school-owned instrument. Before we issue school-owned instruments, we would like for students and parents to be as educated as possible regarding the costs of renting/purchasing an instrument. Please be aware that we do NOT have any school-owned alto saxophones or percussion kits. Also, please note that if your student is issued a school-owned instrument, you will still need to provide your child the appropriate book and other accessories that he/she needs in order to play his/her instrument. Here are the two forms that need to be filled out in order to start the process of securing a school-owned instrument: Download Application for School Instrument 2011-2012; Download Instrument Checkout Form
Accessories. All band students need to have certain accessories related to their own individual instrument, as listed in these documents (one for 6th grade and one for 7th & 8th grade): Download Accessories 7th and 8th Grade 1112; Download Accessories 1112 6th Grade.
