Soooo…
Between Holy Week, vacation, and all that went on immediately after our gathering on 4/17, it became apparent to me as I was updating the blog that a Band Update never went out! I am sorry. I hope this catches you up sufficiently with a couple of days before our next class!
We were missing Alan and Katherine to vacation, but we forged on and had a good session with page 28. We moved on to page 29, which has a couple of fun and familiar tunes in it. This page helps us get more comfortable with accents, slurring, register changes, and dynamics, including the introduction of crescendo and decrescendo. I added my own little twist to the definition of these. Crescendo=start soft, and Decrescendo=start loud.
SPRING CONCERT! - The Bancroft Band WILL be performing in the Bancroft Spring Concert on Wednesday, June 11. They will perform for the school in the morning for the school, as well as in the evening at 7:00pm, with a report time of 6:30. The concert dress will be black, just as it was in March. More details to come!
