7th and 8th grade combined rehearsal

Hello and welcome to our rehearsal for 7th and 8th Grade!

Welcome to our first official combined rehearsal before the concert. Today our goal is to assess and see where we are in terms of concert preparation. We are going to run the whole concert and use our rating scale to self assess.

Our Learning Targets:

(Drums)  I can play 2 variations of the hip hop beat on the drum set at least a 2 on my 4 point rating scale.

Wind and bells: I can play a concert Bb major, Eb major, and F major scale with arpeggio

I can evaluate my performance using our 4 point rating scale and give concrete examples of how to improve.

I can play Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring at a 2 or more on our 4 point rating scale.

I can play My Shot from Hamilton at a 3 or more on our 4 point rating scale.

I can play Mars by Holst at a 2 or more on our 4 point rating scale.

Here is our plan:

1) Take your red clip and sign in! We have extra copies of all the music in the section already.

2) Objective discussion: where are we with concert preparation?

3) Warm Ups! - Scales and rudiments

4) Run the concert. Assess each piece as it played. What needs work? What do you think we we need to do to move this song up on the rating scale? Formulate a plan to improve based on what the rating scale tells us.

5) Return to Hamilton. Time to start our rapping auditions!

6) Practicing Assignments.

I look forward to seeing you for PLC!
