How to Register for Pep Band - For the Fall 2005 semester you should use the WebSTAC to add Pep Band to your schedule. The course number is L28 P.E. 108, Pep Band.  Please note that this is a P.E. credit, not a music credit.  Sorry.

The Benefits - By registering for Pep Band you get 1 credit in the Fall and 1 credit in the spring (assuming you sign up for the spring pep band class). Plus you get great seats at all Wash U athletic events!

Directors' note:  While we're certainly not out to fail you, we also want your assurance that you'll be a contributing member of the band in return for some test-free credit.  Thus, our grading policy is as stated below, and we'll do our best to institute it fairly.  Excused absences don't include hangovers or "had a thing", although we'll try to make the schedule as comfortable as possible.  After all, we can't do it without you.

How You Get a Grade - Pep Band is attendance based. If you're going to miss, we need to know BEFOREHAND.  You get one unexcused absence from a practice and one from a game. An excused absence involves sickness or a conflict with a University event (such as a test). For every absence over the limits mentioned above the grading system is as such:

1 unexcused absence = A-
2 unexcused absences = B
3 unexcused absences = C
etc.

Playing For No Credit - You can still play in Pep Band even if you don't take it for a credit, but why not if your going to show up anyway? Every credit helps.
