Bancroft Update, 11/14/13

We are progressing nicely, and have some good momentum.  One of the things we talked about today was how we need to support each other as a team, and that there were some really wonderful examples of those in the band who support each other, and encourage one another, and that is a great goal for all of us. Let Mr. Wright point out the areas for improvement, and work with each other as a teammate and a resource.

Musically, we are on the right track.  Please continue to encourage regular practice, and it is ok so step back and just let them enjoy playing.  That can and should be an important part of their routine.

This week we have a fun assignment.  Page 12 is a full band arrangement of "Jingle Bells".  It is longer than anything we've played together as a band, and it passes the melody around to different sections.  All together, the product is pretty cool!  There is also a "School Song" at the bottom of the page.  They should have that prepared as well.

Looking forward to next Thursday!
