I think that it is a good idea to have assignments in band. I don�t know if they should be specifically worksheets. As Nickie said I think that the information covered should pertain to the pieces being performed. Some theory that is specific to the pieces could be taught. For example secondary dominants could be theoretically taught to the students when it is included in one of the pieces. I also agree that it would be great to cover the background and history of the pieces as well. This will help the students to be more musical, and to have a more full understanding on the pieces. Another suggestion would be to show the students a full score so that they know how their part fits into the whole.

I think tests and homework assignments are all right to an extent. It's important to assess our students, but we must also remember that it's possible to do that through "assessment vehicles" other than graded papers.
