[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for these ideas! I love the image of running to the bus stop in big pink hair rollers and fuzzy slippers! 
These ideas still seem to require some reminder from me - even if it is the night before. I'd ideally like to help him get into some kind of reminder ha it that doesn't require me remembering at all! (since I have my own never ending list of stuff to remember!) Am I being unrealistic?[/quote]

Does he even like band?  Is forgetting the instrument something he's doing purposefully?

--If he has the same basic weeknight schedule, have a M-F calendar posted by the door with visual reminders--the instrument on the day he takes band.
--Have a set time every day after homework is done and ask him, "It's X o'clock, what do you need to do to prepare for tomorrow?"
--Insert a monthly calendar with his schedule written out, "Tuesday Band."
--Establish a "launch pad" where he sets his backpack and whatever else he needs for school.

These all came to me off the top of my head.  I seriously question your ability to plan ahead/prepare when all you've come up with is "natural consequences."[/quote]
