The Pass-Off System
I. RATIONALE-The pass-off system is a proven way to improve the individual musicianship of the school band. The pass-off system provides a vehicle for the individual student musician to progress at his/her own pace through a sequential course of study of individual instruction in instrumental music.
II. PROCEDURES-Pass-off lessons will be done during the regularly scheduled band class time as well as after or before school as a teacher is available. These lessons will be done individually with an instructor. Pass-off lessons may only be completed by a Mountain Brook band director or other person who is employed by the Mountain Brook City Schools in an adjunct capacity.
III. SEATING-Pass-off completion will be used to determine seating within the Mountain Brook Junior High School Band. The person who has progressed the most within the pass-off books will sit first chair within the section, the person with the next largest amount of completed pages will sit second, etc.
IV. REWARDS-The student will receive a special award when she or he finishes each pass-off book.
V. COURSE OF STUDY-This section outlines the progression of books for each instrument from first to last.
