8th Grade PLC!

You will need your instruments and music. Today we will be working on Les Miserables, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, our three chorales and a new steady beat / rhythm game.

Our goal today is to keep Les Mis polished and start polishing Lord of the Rings, and Jurassic Park.

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.

This may help:

Our Plan:

1) Welcome!

2) PACK and Band! (review)

     a) BRIEF review of our norms

     b) IMPORTANT. Is there anything you need today to be successful.

3) Yale New Haven Trip - Chaperone groups and field trip list

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

Break for Lunch

1) Briefly re-warm
