What a great (but busy) week we had. And I’m sure that the concert is going well (as you receive this while the Concert Band kicks off the concert). Next week will be about all-region and the week will be a rather easy week in our class. This will be a great time to get a breather and caught up with practicing.
Announcements

Assignments
- All students should work on their all All-Region Music very slowly. Check your student’s material for each week’s assignment.
- Students should be very busy on their instrument playing slowly measure by measure. Students are expected to work on their Lyrical and Technical Exercises slowly. You should hear the same measures repeated many times. This is the best technique to lead to content mastery.
- New music will be assigned this week.
