7th Grade Band Rehearsal

Today we will be introducing Star Wars the Force Awakens! We will also be working on the Blues Brothers. Before we do this though we are going to be working out of 14 Weeks to a Better Band, and Tradition of Excellence Book 2. If you do not have these books yet it is very important that you get them! We are going to be using them every week!

Today you will need your blue book, 14 Weeks to a Better Band, and your instrument. I will have as many extra resources as possible, but PLEASE bring your materials to band every week. It is part of our core values to be prepared!

Today's Plan:

Blue Book page 42. Chop Builders and Bb Major Scale only

Warm Up: 14 Weeks To a Better Band Exercise 1. This will include eighth note counting review. 

We will be using student conductors for everything!

"Star Wars the Force Awakens"

 "The Blues Brothers Greatest Hits!"

"The Edge of the Precipice"  (our Orchestra Audition Piece and the Western Region Band Audition Piece)

I'm looking forward to a great rehearsal!
