6th Grade Band PLC

Today we have a full band rehearsal for 6th Grade during PLC

You will come in to a recordings of Dance of the Jabberwocky and Wipe Out.

Our beginning of the rehearsal routine is always the same. Come in: check off your name on the sign in sheet, quietly take out your instrument and take your seat while listening to the recording. You should have copies of Variations, Wipe Out, and Dance of the Jabberwocky already. If you need an extra copy, see Mr. Akter while the music is playing and everyone is getting set up. PLEASE remember your music! This is the last class we will be focusing solely on Dance of the Jabberwocky and Wipe Out. Next class you will be receiving "Knight's Kingdom" and possibly "Over the Rainbow" as well.
