8th Grade Band

Welcome to our band rehearsal! You will need your instruments and your devices. There is a TON to do. We will need to be purposeful to get it all done.

Last class we focused the majority of our time on "Amazing Grace." Today I want to begin with a review of that piece, and then move forward to "Last Full Measure." While we wait for our student selected pieces to arrive, we will be adding "Armed Forces on Parade" to our repertoire as well. Rehearsal on that piece will begin today after "Last Full Measure."
