Combining Classes=Yuck

by DL

May 13, 2010

Unfortunately, I've always been in a situation (school scheduling wise) where I've had to combine classes for band concerts because kids are pretty much thrown all over the place in the schedule. (I could go on an on about how that puts me at a disadvantage compared to other schools in the area whose schedules are not like that, yet I'm expected to produce the same results...)

Anyway, as we all know, each individual class is its own culture, and I find myself doing things different in many ways in all the classes. Something that works for 3rd period may not work in 6th period. When I have had a few kids over in another period to help or combining classes for rehearsals a few days before a concert, things tend to go downhill. Kids want to point out things that are different in their class. They have to show off their "skills" in front of the kids that haven't heard them play. They want to talk to the kid they know but just haven't seen in band. Etcetera...

Is this so...See More
