updates and such more consistently, so really try and start checking this for news on a regular basis.
A few of you have been asking me about our audition for "chairs" and what we have to play. As of right now,
have the cuts for the all-district solo (I passed these out a while ago; if you didn't get them, see me) AND THE RUDIMENTAL SOLO ready and practiced. Not only is it a good idea to learn the basic rudiments, but it might take the place of scales for the test. Again, see me if you don't have a copy.
Don't freak out about the test! Just practice, all of you have played in front of people before...also, I keep getting asked for the day. No official date has been given for the test, I'll let you know as soon (if ever) Mr. Robinson sets one. It'l be a week in advance.
Hmm...now that we're sufficiently in concert season, and right now we're doing a lot of sightreading-esk stuff, really make sure to keep track of music. If you see some scattered, go ahead and at least throw it into one of our folders so it doesn't get lost in the endless void of the Panther Creek Band Room. Cool, neato! Samee thing applies to instruments; PLEASE take the four seconds it takes to put away the instrument you played, or cover the mallets or whatever.
All righttyy, sorry this was kind of just rules and info. Hopefully as we get into the swing of things, there will be more events as such..BUT, until then, I really hope you love symphonic band! :D
p.s. Go ahead and start thinking if you want to be part of the jam section for basketball games.
Anf if you're thinking about playing set for any/all of it, definitely check this video out first:
