7th Grade Band


You will need your instruments and your devices. Today we will be working on  Michael Jackson's Thriller voting on our student selected piece, and discussing Band Council. There is a TON to do. We will need to be purposeful to get it all done as it is a half day and we don't have a ton of time.

Our Plan:
1) Welcome!

2) Discuss Band Council: schedule of meetings etc.

3) PACK and Band! (review)
     a) BRIEF review of our norms
     b) IMPORTANT. Is there anything you need today to be successful.

4) Warm Ups and Tune - "Tradition of Excellence Book 2 - Page 2 and page 42. Explain Bb, Eb, and F Concert major scales, the chorales, and audition requirements.

5) Feedback on Student Selected Pieces.

9) Preassess Thriller

10) Rehearse Thriller. Rehearsal techniques include student conductors (Mr. Akter will play with various sections to reinforce how the parts sound in your mind) sectional, and direct instruction.

11) Post assess: Was there growth? If so, why? If not, why not? What needs to be addressed next?

12) Assignments for practicing.

13) Post to Google Classroom for "exit ticket."
