As a 7th grade band person, they should definitely have their stands high enough to where they can at least see some part of the band director, they should focus on the tempo speed and practice that, tuning mostly every month or so, and/or go through each row to see where everyone's at with the music, #1 key to being a really good band member! Overall good job to everyone!
Ima be honest there going to slow I’m in 6th grade band and where doing it faster it’s it’s barely been 5 months that we have been playing and where playing this for our spring concert
