    4. Hey Song
    5. Stand Shorties
    6. Problem
    7. Counting Stars
    8. Sweet Caroline
  • Students are expected to work on their All-Region Lyrical and Technical Exercises slowly.  You should hear the same measures repeated many times.  This is the best technique to lead to content mastery. Most of the major test grade will be from these two exercises, plus their scales
  • New music for the Fall Concert has been assigned. However, the focus in class, sectionals and practice should still be on All-Region.
  • Students will be playing lines of their All-Region in class for a grade.
  • Concert G and D Major Scales will be played for a grade.

Have a great weekend,

Mr. Kennedy
