Combined Rehearsal!

Hello 7th and 8th Grade Band!
You will come in to a recording of  "James Bond"

Our beginning of the rehearsal routine is always the same. Quietly take out your instrument and take your seat while listening to the recording.

We learned a great deal from last week's assessment exercises, and we had an amazingly productive rehearsal addressing the weaknesses we identified with assessment.  Today we are going to make sure we are ready for concert when the bands are combined.

Housekeeping: Percussion instruments: As we go through rehearsal please make note of any instruments you need. I believe we have enough, but we may run short now when combined. Anything we don't have I will borrow from the high school, but we need to assess this now.

Auditions for drum set are starting today. Student conductors and dialog folks have already been selected.
