Hello Folks!
It's State Week!!!
I've nothing to say about it. Just stay focued and let's rock it this week folks!
Weekly Walkthrough 🧩
Monday, we have Leadership Tuesday from 3pm to 5pm.
Tuesday, we have Wind Ensemble Rehearsal from 4pm to 6pm with Mrs. Mara Rose- Bruce (Ret. from Fleming Island).
Wednesday, we have Face Pie rewards during 5th Period this day! Students will need to get a pass signed by their 5th period teacher to come the whole class; otherwise they will only be able to come during their lunch. Wind Ensemble has Dress Rehearsal from 4pm to 6pm. You do not need to come dressed in your concert attire-- this term just describes the last rehearsal before a Major Performance. This rehearsal is OPEN, so Band Parents and 8th Graders are more than welcome to join us!
Thursday, we have State Concert Music Performance Assessment with a 2:45pm Call Time. Please review the itinerary.
Friday, we have no activities scheduled.
Percussion Class Weekly Plan 🥁
Day of Week | Plan |
Monday | Chanteys w/ Mr. Moore |
Tuesday | Men of Ohio w/ Mr. Moore |
Wednesday | IPT |
Thursday | IPT |
Friday | IPT |
Definitions
IPT= Individual Practice Time- Percussionists are expected to work diligently on learning their music, prioritizing the section of music Mr. Moore will work that week FIRST, the section of music being tested next SECOND, and whatever the player knows they are struggling with THIRD. (IPT can be used freely for Percussion Ensemble music OR Concert music, but NOT Jazz Band music).
Floor Time- Percussionists are expected to work out rhythms with their drum sticks while sitting in a Drum Circle on the Floor. Care must be taken to ensure accuracy of rhythm AND that all players are playing (and moving their body) together at the same time.
CMS= Concert Music Sectionals- Percussionists are expected to work diligently on their Concert Music specifically. Sectionals may be self- led or be led by Mr. Moore or a member of leadership. If a percussionist isn't being worked with directly, they should be productive in working through another piece of Concert Music OR their Percussion Ensemble Music.
