Hello all. We were only missing one this morning. Today we serenaded the Media Center, due to Student Council assembly preparations in the auditorium.
Today, as hoped, we rehearsed and ran through a full band arrangement of "Jingle Bells". It was a real success! This band is making great progress!
The next two pages introduce the concept of eighth notes. We have been working at a clip of about one page per week. What I asked of them this week is that we will work on pages 13 and 14. It is a little more than we typically do in one week, but the whole rhythmic concept of the eighth note very cleverly spans those two pages. After going through the basics with them, I have little doubt that they will be able to handle it. I did tell them that if next week comes, and they are feeling overwhelmed, we can easily stretch this goal out to the following week, which will be the day before Thanksgiving. I have not overestimated them yet!
Ms. Hofius and I thank you again for your continued support!
