So everything is up in limbo with no information about

when anything is going to take place.  Please be flexible

and here is the latest...

(updated 3/21)

I will be at the HS Band Hall from noon until 1pm

on Tuesday, March 24 for anyone who needs to pick up

their instrument and/or music. I have made

copies of next year's show music...Ritual...for you to

get a head start on.  Come on up and get it!!!

As for the last Disney Payment, if you haven't made

it yet, just hold on.  When we do get back, it will be

due immediately (as of now...April 6).  Plan accordingly.

Until you hear FROM ME or on THIS WEBSITE,

Disney is still a GO!!!

Check out the Band Facebook Page for a post about

SmartMusic.  It's available and FREE until July.  Go

out there and get it.  It makes practice fun...and it's

a good tool to use to learn, practice, record and

email your assignments to me.  It's all available

through SmartMusic. 

the Eb Scale the second week.  Tempo is not relevant,

but accurate notes with the normal "scale" rhythm is.

Ascending: Quarter note (F), eighth...eighth...eighth...

eighth...eighth...eighth...Quarter(F) - then back down

with the same rhythm.  It's basically the scale from p. 12

in your blue book.

Percussionists, you have a small snare drum etude

to play.  You can perform it on a practice pad or if you

have your own snare drum.  Or a countertop.  Or the

floor...the world is your instrument!!!  If you want a

school practice pad, come on up and get one!  Also,

I have the assignment music printed out at the band

hall if you want to come get it with Ritual.  It's all

ready to go...

Below is the process for recording and submitting
