Happy ____________day!
All of the concerts are finished and I would like to say GREAT JOB! Everyone performed well and we appreciate the work you have been doing on your own. :-D
Keep playing - discover what new sounds and rhythms you can make on your instrument. See how long you can hold a single pitch.
Brass players (trumpets and French Horns) keep buzzing with your lips (How many songs can YOU buzz?). :-O
Saxophones - how fast can you say "tea time", then add to it - "tea time took", then "tea time took two" etc. Keeping expanding the silly sentence, beginning each word with the letter "t". Do the same with letter "d". This will develop your articulation. (Brass players should also do this). ;-)
Grade 8 Band - You are doing a fine job with the Memorial Day music. Please focus on the sections we discussed in class (you should have circled them on your music), particularly when there are accidentals. Be aware of the key and when the key changes.
