How were your interim grades? Not just your band grade, but all grades? Are you happy with your progress or can you do better? What do you need to do to achieve a higher grade? Do you need a better plan? Do you need to be organized? Do you need to work harder? YOU can do it! You have the resources and the tools to succeed! Talk to your teachers or fellow students to find the help you need. Plan your work, get it done, keep it organized, turn it in!
If it's your band grade that you want to improve, look at that practice record. Put the assignment in your agenda book. Set up a practice schedule. Add additional time to the practicing you're already doing. GET YOUR PRACTICE RECORD SIGNED!! The easiest way to increase your test grades by 10 points is to get your practice record signed and turn it in on the day it is due. I do not accept late or incomplete practice records. You are graded on completing the practice record - not the amount of time you practice! (Although...those who practice more, seem to do better...go figure!)
Like the sign in the band room says, "I don't give out grades, You earn them!" Earn the best grade you can. Have a good weekend. Practice!
