Lakeview Band Principles
The Lakeview Band Program is based on more than just musical excellence. We obviously take great pride in how well we perform as musicians, but our true reward comes with the way in which we conduct ourselves on a daily basis both in and out of the band classroom or stage.
There are the key principles we try to live by as band members:
1. Responsibility – Do the best you can in everything you do.
2. Respect – Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
3. Attitude – Approach every situation with a positive attitude.
4. Be Proactive – Try to anticipate situations and prepare for them in advance.
5. Trust – Trust is earned and easily lost.
6. Commitment – Keep your commitments to yourself and others, even when it is difficult.

Extracurricular Code of Conduct
If I am selected to represent ______________________________ School in its extracurricular program, I will be sincerely interested in contributing my best effort to the success of the program. I therefore agree to the following expectations and consequences as they pertain to out of school and after hours behavior while a member of an extracurricular group. It should be noted that the LISD student code of conduct and local school policies regarding appropriate behavior shall always be applied first and foremost when violations occur at school, at a contest/event, traveling to and from an event/contest, or when the students represent themselves as part of a school team, organization, or school group. Participation in extracurricular activities is considered a privilege and, certainly, higher standards are expected from all participants as it pertains to grades, behavior in and out of school, attendance, work ethic, and commitment.
The following restrictions refer to any amount of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco off campus.
I. Use and/or possession of Alcohol will not be tolerated. 1st offense: Removed from competition for
two contests and/or performances. School staff
counseling required.
2nd offense: Removed from competition for
a semester. School staff counseling required.
3rd offense: In the event of a third violation of these rules, the student will no longer be permitted to participate in competitive extracurricular activities for the remainder of the student’s enrollment in the District.
II. Use and/or possession of Drugs will not be tolerated. 1st offense: Removed from competition for three contests. School staff counseling required.
2nd offense: Removed from competition for a semester. School staff counseling required.
3rd offense: In the event of a third violation of these rules, the student will no longer be permitted to participate in competitive extracurricular activities for the remainder of the student’s enrollment in the District.

(as defined by Board Policy FNCC Legal) 30 days and up to 90 days with reinstatement to the
program at the Sponsor/Coach and Administrator
discretion.
2nd offense: Removal from the program for no less than
90 days and up to one calendar year. Reinstatement to the
program will take place only at the Sponsor/Coach
and Administrator approval.
V. Charged with a felony involving bodily harm Removed from the program until the case is
decided.
Adjudication and/or Conviction of a felony Removed from the program indefinitely.
********1. Once a participant has been removed from the program, the Sponsor/Coach and /or Administrator has the right to review the case and make a decision as to whether to allow the participant back into the program after the 90 day suspension.
2. A semester is considered to be 90 days.
3. Infractions will not accrue from year to year. Infractions will be tabulated for one calendar year beginning August 1 and ending July 31. Penalty can carry over from term to term until time is served.
4. These violations have to be (a) witnessed by District personnel (b) ticketed by law enforcement (c) or admitted to by the participant.
5. You are expected to follow the code of ethical behavior both on and off campus.
VI. Additional expectations for extracurricular activities: failure to meet these expectations will result in counseling by the coach or sponsor, or some form of punishment or suspension.
A. Conduct: We expect you to conduct yourself as ladies/gentlemen at all times. Follow school rules and procedures.
B. Attendance: Do not cut class. Do not be tardy. If you miss an athletic period or participation be sure it cannot be helped. Your commitment may include holidays and non-school days. Call the coach or sponsor if you are absent from an athletic period.
C. Profanity: We do not allow it.
D. Injury: We have a professional trainer who has been educated in training procedures. If you have an injury, see the trainers first. They will either treat the injury or tell you to see your doctor.
E. Grades: We expect you to work and maintain good grades.
F. Promptness: Always be on time, to practice, meetings, and games.
G. Equipment and facilities: Be responsible and take care of both.
H. Respect for coaches and teachers: Treat them with respect and in return you will be treated with respect.
I. Stealing: Taking things that do not belong to you will result in severe consequences.
J. Accountability: You will be held accountable for all of your actions. Be sure you “think” before you “act”.
*Due process procedures will be in accordance with LISD Board Policies: FOC (Local),FOA (Legal), FOC(Legal), FOD(Legal), and FOD(Local).
I have received a copy of the Extracurricular Code of Conduct and understand that all students will be held accountable for their behavior and will be subject to the disciplinary consequences outlined in the Code.

Extracurricular Code of Conduct
If I am selected to represent ______________________________ School in its extracurricular program, I will be sincerely interested in contributing my best effort to the success of the program. I therefore agree to the following expectations and consequences as they pertain to out of school and after hours behavior while a member of an extracurricular group. It should be noted that the LISD student code of conduct and local school policies regarding appropriate behavior shall always be applied first and foremost when violations occur at school, at a contest/event, traveling to and from an event/contest, or when the students represent themselves as part of a school team, organization, or school group. Participation in extracurricular activities is considered a privilege and, certainly, higher standards are expected from all participants as it pertains to grades, behavior in and out of school, attendance, work ethic, and commitment.
The following restrictions refer to any amount of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco off campus.
I. Use and/or possession of Alcohol will not be tolerated. 1st offense: Removed from competition for
two contests and/or performances. School staff
counseling required.
2nd offense: Removed from competition for
a semester. School staff counseling required.
3rd offense: In the event of a third violation of these rules, the student will no longer be permitted to participate in competitive extracurricular activities for the remainder of the student’s enrollment in the District.
II. Use and/or possession of Drugs will not be tolerated. 1st offense: Removed from competition for three contests. School staff counseling required.
2nd offense: Removed from competition for a semester. School staff counseling required.
3rd offense: In the event of a third violation of these rules, the student will no longer be permitted to participate in competitive extracurricular activities for the remainder of the student’s enrollment in the District.

(as defined by Board Policy FNCC Legal) 30 days and up to 90 days with reinstatement to the

discretion.
2nd offense: Removal from the program for no less than
90 days and up to one calendar year. Reinstatement to the
program will take place only at the Sponsor/Coach
and Administrator approval.
V. Charged with a felony involving bodily harm Removed from the program until the case is
decided.
Adjudication and/or Conviction of a felony Removed from the program indefinitely.
********1. Once a participant has been removed from the program, the Sponsor/Coach and /or Administrator has the right to review the case and make a decision as to whether to allow the participant back into the program after the 90 day suspension.
2. A semester is considered to be 90 days.
3. Infractions will not accrue from year to year. Infractions will be tabulated for one calendar year beginning August 1 and ending July 31. Penalty can carry over from term to term until time is served.
4. These violations have to be (a) witnessed by District personnel (b) ticketed by law enforcement (c) or admitted to by the participant.
5. You are expected to follow the code of ethical behavior both on and off campus.
VI. Additional expectations for extracurricular activities: failure to meet these expectations will result in counseling by the coach or sponsor, or some form of punishment or suspension.
A. Conduct: We expect you to conduct yourself as ladies/gentlemen at all times. Follow school rules and procedures.
B. Attendance: Do not cut class. Do not be tardy. If you miss an athletic period or participation be sure it cannot be helped. Your commitment may include holidays and non-school days. Call the coach or sponsor if you are absent from an athletic period.
C. Profanity: We do not allow it.
D. Injury: We have a professional trainer who has been educated in training procedures. If you have an injury, see the trainers first. They will either treat the injury or tell you to see your doctor.
E. Grades: We expect you to work and maintain good grades.
F. Promptness: Always be on time, to practice, meetings, and games.
G. Equipment and facilities: Be responsible and take care of both.
H. Respect for coaches and teachers: Treat them with respect and in return you will be treated with respect.
I. Stealing: Taking things that do not belong to you will result in severe consequences.
J. Accountability: You will be held accountable for all of your actions. Be sure you “think” before you “act”.
*Due process procedures will be in accordance with LISD Board Policies: FOC (Local),FOA (Legal), FOC(Legal), FOD(Legal), and FOD(Local).
I have received a copy of the Extracurricular Code of Conduct and understand that all students will be held accountable for their behavior and will be subject to the disciplinary consequences outlined in the Code.
