6th Grade Band

Hi All!

Welcome to our band rehearsal. Today our goal is to find a replacement piece for Pink Panther (which the band asked to remove from the program) and master / polish A Little Mozart Suite and Antiquitus. We are also going to work in sectionals today and play one music game as a brain break during the rehearsal.



Antiquitus




A Little Mozart Suite:

Lesson Plan
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) Volunteer Student Conductors

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.
     1) Red book #s 16, #24 (two parts), #39, #51, #63, #81, #88,#131

4) Listen to our pieces. While you are listening Mr. Akter will hand out music to those who do not have it.

5) New Student Conductor: Warm up by running Mozart Suite

6) After we polish Mozart Mr. A will conduct it once as if we are performing it.

7) Antiquitus is next. We will start with student conductors and Mr. A will reinforce sections by playing with each group. We will do thumbs up thumbs down formative assessment so that Mr. A can reinforce any section that needs it.

8) We will post assess Antiqiutus. Is it a 4? If not, why not?

9) Our first potential replacement for Pink Panther is "Jingle Bell Rock." You will find a copy on your music stand when you come in for rehearsal. Mr. A will model it once for you. We will do some work in sectionals, and then return to full band rehearsal for run throughs with student conductors.

10) BRAIN BREAK! At this point in the rehearsal we will break for a game of teacher vs class to reinforce the rhythms in Jingle Bell Rock.

11) At this point Mr. A will introduce and discuss our 3 other potential replacements for Pink Panther. These are Wipe Out, Raider's March, and Batman theme. I will be emailing the band a link to each song to listen to along with a google form to discuss.

12) Run through the concert as is (Mozart Themes, Jingle Bell Rock, Antiquitus) Discuss needed improvements for next rehearsal.
