Benchmark Playing Quizzes 2018-2019
About Benchmark Playing Quizzes:
Depending on the assignment, each student will be required to a play live playing quiz in front of a Band Director or submit video recordings of themselves online. Upon submitting these recordings, students will complete a short self-evaluation of their performance. The primary platform for submitting these recordings will be on the SeeSaw platform, using the app called Seesaw: The Learning Journal or the website found below. For any student that does not have access to the technology (internet, smartphone, tablet or computer), there will be opportunities to complete these assignments before/afterschool in the band room. The details of each assignment will be posted well before the due date.

Students are welcome to share devices, but every student must have their own Seesaw account (Sign-in and out of each account on the device). Students that do not have devices to use or share must contact a Director before the assignment is due.
