The Jazz Band Sectional Rules
We worked together to create these guidelines during sectional rehearsal:
- Keep distractions to a minimum
- Cell phones away
- Save conversations for appropriate times
- Noodling/excess playing is a no-no
- Show mutual respect toward each other
- Everyone is here to learn
- Everyone is here to improve
- Everyone is here to have fun
- Establish one person as the conductor/beat keeper/leader of the sectional rehearsal
- Leader should be able to identify rhythm, pitch, intonation troubles
- This person can change from session to session
- Avoid simply running pieces from beginning to end
- Maintain your focus for the duration of the sectional rehearsal
