6th Grade Band

Hi All!

Welcome to our band rehearsal. 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. Last week we varied the lesson plan because you wanted to start Pink Panther! Today, we are going to continue with that and make Pink Panther a priority before we move on to Antiquitus.

I know it is tricky to try an play a full band arrangement from "scratch" so we are going to use a variety of techniques to help you understand "how it sounds" as we progress through the song! This may help us. It is a video of a middle school band playing Pink Panther very well! We will be using this especially to help us practice at home
