This evening's concert is postponed until Thursday, December 20, 2007 @7:30 pm. Freshman Concert band students should prepare for performance exams on Tuesday and Wednesday To really polish up the performance.
Practice playing all music beginning to end while recording yourself. Then listen back and give yourself an articulation and dynamic test grade.
Woodwinds check sustained notes with a tuner in all musical selections.
Trumpets tune your 'A's and low 'D's with a tuner.
Low brass more sound with a clean tongue.
Percussion more contrast in dynamics with a metronome.
Practice playing staccato for the ENTIRE SONG.
Oboes Tune, Tune, Tune.
The concert is going to be great but let's shoot for AMAZING!!.
Mom and Dad deserve AMAZING!!.
