I'm so glad so many of you were able to make it this morning! Nice to meet/re-meet you! Thanks for coming, and thanks for showing the kind of encouragement all year that would compel you to show up on a snowy morning like this! I was very pleased with how well the kids played, and responded to your presence. I am sure it will have gone a long way to help propel our momentum!
Next week, the kids will take the work we did this morning on pages 13 and 14, and learn the exercises that put those rhythms into practice. There is an exercise on page 14 (#54 - "Baffling Barlines" that requires their written response. They need to fill in the bar lines in the music, dividing the notes and rests in to four beat measures. Please get in touch with me if this presents a challenge. I only need them to give it a shot. We can fix it next week.
Thanks again for this morning, and welcome to the Andover Band family!
