This week the 5th grade students are starting full band rehearsal. During this first week, the 5th graders will rehearse without the sixth grade students in order to get used to playing as a group. Today the kids learned where to put cases, where they will sit when they're in group rehearsal and how the cues work between director and band. Each of the students received a folder with two band songs. We got a chance to play a few exercises out of the lesson book as well as trying out one of the band songs. I'm excited to get this group of band students playing and ready for the spring concert!
Come back soon for some videos of the band.
