Abstract: The semiclassical approximation for electron wave-packets in crystals leads to equations which can be derived from a Lagrangian or, under suitable regularity conditions, in a Hamiltonian framework. In the plane, these issues are studied %in presence of external fields using the method of the coadjoint orbit applied to the ``enlarged Galilei group.
