6th Grade Band

Hi All!

Wow! What a GREAT rehearsal last week! You sounded wonderful on "Let it Go." This piece is very challenging and we may have it ready for this concert instead of next! Way to go! 

Today, you will sign in on the sign in sheet and take your seat in band. Then we will be doing some "book work" and reading exercises.  We all be doing pre and post assessment, sectionals, and student conductors on all four of our pieces. 

Today you will be continuing work on our first student selected piece! "Let it Go" is an awesome arrangement. All we need to learn is the ending! GREAT job last time! 

1) Brief review of PACK in band. Brief review of 5 rules.

     If I am playing, you should be listening, or playing along with me.
