I am very excited for today's rehearsal. Today I want to make sure that EVERYONE who wants to try out for a solo has a chance. Today's rehearsal and next two rehearsals are the last three days we can effectively do auditions.
Today we'll be working on all three of our wonderful songs! Last rehearsal we learned that Radetzky March was not quite as strong as we thought! We are going to run through that one first after warming up to make sure our learning from last rehearsal "stuck."
These may be of help:

Lesson Plan:
1) Sign in
2) Warm up - Tradition of Excellence Book 2. You should all have the book. Today we are going to be talking about lip slurs, long tones, the chromatic scale, the Bb major scale, and the concept of a chorale. We are going to learn the entire first chorale. Drummers we are going to be working on playing multiple bounce rolls softly.
3) Just like last rehearsal we will run through an imaginary concert to see what needs work. We will make mental notes of what it is we need to practice, and just let the "train wrecks" happen (if there are any). Do you have everything you need for each song? If not, now is the time to get it.
4) After run through discuss: what needs the most work and why? Is it Radetzky March, or did we remember everything from last rehearsal? Based on our discussion we will decide what piece we are going to focus on first.
5) This will be our third time doing steps 1-4. Hopefully we get through the concert quickly because today I want to hear as many auditions as possible.
6) Discussion. Was there growth? If yes, why? If not, why not?
7) Exit ticket and closure.
