8th Grade PLC

Hello 8th Grade Band!

Today we will have band during PLC. Due to the weather we have an early dismissal so we will have to work hard to make the most of the time we have. You will be working on "Linus and Lucy," which is your student selected piece. You will be working on Pirates and Holiday Swing Along as well. 

You will come in to band hearing a recording of "Linus and Lucy."

The check in procedure is always the same. You will enter the room with a recording of the piece we are working on today playing in the background. Volunteers will make sure everyone has a copy of "Linus and Lucy". Quietly take out your instruments, and take your seats. By this time, everyone should have received a copy of "A Holiday Swing Along," "Variations," and "Pirates." Please remember your music!

Direct Instruction: We will play through Linus and Lucy and assess what we remember from last rehearsal.

Student Conductors (we perform a section)

Assess: discuss what needs improvement.

Student conductors: (we will re-perform a section)

Re-assess.

Move on to next section if we are able. If not, I will intervene with direct instruction, sectionals, or modeling

Once we can run through Linus and Lucy successfully we will move on   to "Pirates" and "A Holiday Swing-Along"

Looking forward to seeing you!

Mr. A
