You will need your instruments and music. Today we will be working on Uptown Funk Michael Jackson's Thriller and My Favorite Things along with 3 chorales and a new steady beat / rhythm game. You will also be receiving UpTown Funk today!
We will be covering 3 major scales and the chromatic scales in warm ups, and making sure we have Smart Music and Embouchure / technique goals set for everyone, and that you know what those goals are! There is a TON to do. Drummers, we need to make sure our 6 essential rudiments are memorized and that our multiple bounce rolls sound "tight" and controlled.
Everything we do today will be with student conductors! We will be using thumbs up and thumbs down technique so I know who to help as I play with the band.
This might help. They are videos of excellent bands playing all of our songs, including one we made ourselves!
Our goal today is to "rough in" the ENTIRE concert. All three pieces need attention to make this happen, but Thriller needs the least attention (it is virtually performance ready) so we will leave that to last after warning up with it. Michael Jackson's Thriller:
