Welcome back! We are excited to have two sections of band at the high school this year. This has created a little confusion and some of the members are in the wrong classes, but we are attempting to correct the problem. This week we passed out class materials and discussed classroom expectations. We assigned instruments, lockers, and folio slots.
Wind Ensemble: This is the auditioned group and is a little smaller than the other class. We passed out music for three charts: Fortress, Rise of the Phoenix, and Ensembelero. The members started working on three forms of the g minor scale. Next Thursday they will have a quiz on having all three forms of the minor scale memorized, two octaves, plus arpeggio, at quarter note = 100.
Symphonic Band: This week we passed out Celtic Ballad and music from Star Wars. We started working on warm ups in the book in Bb major. We will be testing on a scale exercise: 2A Technique with quarter note = 90 next Thursday.
