In order to assist band members and parents in understanding areas of responsibility, a statement of band policy is herein set forth.  Becoming familiar with this policy will enable each individual to make the most of this great opportunity to be a member of The East Rutherford Marching Cavaliers, while also becoming a better person and musician.

We firmly believe each student should improve through regular practice.  When the student has lost the will to improve him- or herself or to make a better contribution to the band, he or she is disrespecting the time and effort of fellow members and the community by continuing in the program.  The happiest student is one who improves through regular habits of practice and daily progress.  He or she must not only know right from wrong, but must be able to stand for principles and develop a high sense of purpose toward which he or she is willing to work.  Responsibility is the focus behind any level of achievement within this program.  we intend to conduct ourselves in a manner that will facilitate the learning of all students.
