Remote Learning Information 2020-2021
Below is information that you need to get the year started. Please read everything, and go ahead and follow through with completing these tasks. Don’t procrastinate!
All students will need the book, “Foundations for Superior Band Performance.” If you do not already own a copy of this book, please purchase a copy for the instrument that your child plays. Below are Amazon links for your convenience. The price should be $6.95 except for percussion which is $9.95. If the price is higher, you can go to Music & Arts at the Forum or use another vendor of your choice. STUDENTS IN BEGINNER BAND SHOULD NOT ORDER A BOOK BECAUSE WE HAVEN’T PICKED YOUR INSTRUMENT YET.

All band students will need a Dobie Band T-Shirt. It is the same as last year’s, so if you have one that still fits and looks nice, then you don’t need to purchase another one. If you are new to Dobie, then please click on this My School Bucks link and purchase your band t-shirt.
If you will be playing a school-owned instrument (bass clarinet, tenor sax, bari sax, French horn, euphonium or tuba), I will be invoicing you the fee on My School Bucks. There is not a link for you to click on.
Every student needs to have a Cut Time account. This is a web-based management system that our district uses for our fine arts programs. It’s also our primary method for mass communication. If your child does not already have a Cut Time account, please use this Cut Time link to self-register. Parents should not create a separate account. Instead create a parent relationship in your child’s account.
We will be using Google Classroom to get the year started. Below are the class codes. Please go ahead and enroll in the appropriate band class. Go to Google Classroom. Click on the plus sign to join a class, and copy and paste the correct class code.

The Dobie Band utilizes “SmartMusic” practice software. Many of our playing assignments will be done through SmartMusic. This cloud based software only works on laptop/desktop computers or medium and larger tablet devices. The web-based software is not compatible with phones. It also works best with the google chrome browser. If you are planning on using your phone for the majority of your SCUC@Home curriculum you will need to prepare appropriately for this tool. If you’re using an iPad or similar device please download the SmartMusic app (orange color). Every student in the Dobie band has been provided with a basic student account. Accounts have access to thousands of pieces of music and various skill building routines. Please feel free to explore this software and contact Mr. Barbee if you require assistance regarding the SmartMusic platform.
