Band Assignment due 10/9/14

Hello Everyone!

Great rehearsal today.  I love the way all of you are so attentive and ready to play each rehearsal.  Our time together is definitely one of the best parts of my week!

Please practice diligently and efficiently on your sheet music this week- especially on Frozen. Remember, I decide on whether we perform Frozen this Fall based on the amount of practice progress I hear you making as a group.  Pick out problem spots, isolate them and work on them until they are correct. Then, incorporate them into larger segments of the piece.  Please don't hesitate to ask me questions about the music both inside and outside of class.  That is what I'm here for!  =-)

Don't forget to be prepared for your memorized pass-off this week also.

Have a blessed week!
