As always, a very well prepared group showed up this morning and worked hard. They get more and more musical every week.
Page 29 is our new frontier, and introduces crescendos and decrescendos (gradual increase or decrease in dynamics, respectively), and reinforces and develops or more recent concepts such as tempo, dynamics, and range extension.
Book 2 is just around the corner. Information on acquiring this book will be coming soon.
The South School Band will be performing in the Spring Concert at South School on Thursday, May 29. There is a morning concert at 9:30 am for the school, and a performance for parents in the evening at 7:00pm. Please be on the lookout from me for details, but be sure to have this on our calendars!
Also soon to come is information about continuing with band either next year at South or moving on to middle school. One thing to bear in mind is that most of you are in a rent-to-own situation with your instruments. Returning them for the summer would put you back to square one, where everything you currently pay (less tax and insurance) is credited toward the purchase of the instrument. I would also be happy to help you find opportunities to do some playing over the summer, if even just an occasion or two.
