Beyond the Bell Registration

    Hello Knights, 

    Welcome to the registration form for our Beyond the Bell program! We are thrilled to offer this exciting branch of education/training to our student body. The following information includes all the details of what we are offering at this time. We can't wait to see your knight 'Beyond the Bell'!

    Please read the all of the information below before you signing up:

    There are two intensive categories, COURSES and WORKSHOPS.  Courses are multi-week offerings that will grow students in a particular skill through a series of weekly sessions. Workshops are one-time, single-day offerings that introduce students to a new skill, in an effort to broaden their scope of knowledge, as well as help them explore new creative outlets. 

    Expectations for offered intensives:
    • Students are expected to rehearse daily, or the amount prescribed by the instructor.
    • Students are required to have ALL REQUIRED INSTRUMENTS, MUSIC, and APPROPRIATE MATERIALS for each session. 
    • Consistent behavior issues and disruptions may preclude participation. If students are dismissed from class 3 times they will be removed from class permanently, and will need approval to rejoin next quarter.
    • Students are asked to wait calmly and quietly in the designated areas before and after classes. Parents are  asked to pick their students up promptly after their session has ended. If delayed, students will be checked into aftercare, and will be charged.

    We are always looking for new artists...
    Please let us know if you, or someone you know, would like to assist with our program, or volunteer your/their time & talents. 

    The Fine Print:
    • You will be billed on your SchoolSpeak account once your student is placed in a class.  Pricing varies based on chosen intensive.  
    • Anyone with a previous unpaid BTB balance will not be able to register until the previous balance is paid up in full. -- Please contact us directly if there is an issue. 
    • You may sign up for as many classes that your schedule will allow. Please be mindful of your student's tutoring/athletic commitments in the afternoons. 
    • Please note grade level & skill level that students must represent in order to qualify for each class.
