6th Grade Band Rehearsal

Hi All!

Welcome to our third "playing" full band rehearsal. Last rehearsal we had a lot of fun doing warm up activities. There is a LOT to do, and only 75 minutes to do it all, so we are going to have to purposeful and stay on track to get it all done.

You will walk in to recordings of "A Little Mozart Suite" and "Antiquitus," our two teacher selected pieces. You will sign in on the sign in sheet and take your seat in band. (click on the names of the pieces for audio recordings)

Last rehearsal we successfully introduced "A Little Mozart Suite" so today we are going to focus on introducing "Antiquitus." Looking forward to it!

1) PACK and Band!
    a) Quick review of our norms
    b) REALLY important: is there anything you need now to be successful? Anything getting in the         way of your learning? Please let me know.

2) While you are working in groups on PACK, Mr. Akter will hand out school instruments to those students who requested them.

3) Warm Up Time! We are going to warm up with songs from the red book. This will also serve as a a quick review of last year's learning.
