7th and 8th Grade PLC

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

Welcome to our 2nd official combined rehearsal before the concert. Today our goal is to run the whole concert and use our rating scale to self assess and see if there was improvement from last rehearsal. We need to return to practicing "Mars" from the planets to bring it up to speed with our other 2 pieces.

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) Focus our attention on Mars. Rehearse problem areas. Review 5/4 time.

6) Return to Hamilton. Continue our rapping auditions!

7) Practicing Assignments.

I look forward to seeing you for PLC!
