6th Grade Band

Hello and welcome to our rehearsal for 6th grade!

Today our goal is to run the entire concert, including Twist and Shout! I think we are going to be able to do all 4 pieces, and I am very excited. We are going to need to a student conductor though for Twist and Shout.

Our Learning Targets:

(Percussion)  I can play a single stroke, double stroke, and five stroke roll. I can play flams and flam taps. Wind and bells: I can play a concert Bb major and chromatic scale.

I can play all of The Finale from the Firebird at  a 3 (or greater) on our rating scale.

I can play the entirety of the Theme from Symphony #9 at a 3 (or greater) on our rating scale.

I can play Happy at a 3 (or greater) on our rating scale

I can play all of Twist and Shout at a 3 (or greater) on our rating scale.

Here is our plan:

1) Get set up and in your seats quickly.  Make sure you have your red clip. We will review our learning targets. You will find a copy of "Twist and Shout" on your instrument stand. New bathroom/question routine will be reviewed.

2) Warm Ups! - Scales and rudiments

3) Run the concert as is. Try student conductors! Discuss conducting for concert.

4) Discuss each piece thinking of our rating school. How did we do? What needs improvement? Rehearse sections as needed.

5) Practicing assignments!

I look forward to seeing you for excel!
