Some things to consider before Mid Tri.

One note for all classes. You will have a SmartMusic playing assessment before the mid tri (Thursday). So plan on it.

Second, to the 9th grade band. I had told you before that you would be going on a field trip the day before our last concert. This does not set us up for the best possible performance. We need to come up with some solutions for what we can do to correct the situation. Your field trip day is important. You should go, it is a great and extremely fun learning opportunity.

Now that being said we need to brainstorm how we are going to play get some playing time between May 12th and May 13th at 7:15 pm.

So post some comments. Please only leave your first name, if you don't I won't know who it's from and I won't let the comment be posted.

Thanks and Happy Practicing!

PS only 30 days left until our concert!!!

Hey Mr. Terry,
What field trip? I don't remember you saying anything about that.

We did talk about it earlier in the trimester. It is the Science field trip. So as a class we will work out a plan.

I think on May 13 we should get out of a class to practice with each other if your schedule allows it.

That is great idea that I had also considered Trevor. The only problem is that there isn't an hour available in the day on Tuesday. They are all taken with Orchestra and Band classes. But keep the ideas comming!

Going off of Trevor's idea, what if we did a rehearsal during classes on May 12th?

Thanks Becca. You guys will be gone all day on the 12th on the science field trip.

Mr. Terry, May 12 is the Valleyfair thing right?
well, I can't think of anything, but just thought I'd leave a comment, because it's sort of hard since May 12 is on a monday, and May 13 is on a tuesday.

I think the idea of staying after school on the 13th would work the best since we dont play until late that night

hey mr terry I think we should just come in early before our concert.

well Mr. Terry i think that what the others had said about getting out of class on tuesday to come and try to rehearse...if possible...
but if we can't do that, we should try to find a day to stay after school and rehearse then..
well these are some of the options i was thinking about...

How about we stay after school, and who ever shows up shows up? It would leave our performance up to us.

I think Staying after school or coming in early would be a good option, but I don't know if that would work for the whole band, just a thought.

hey mr. terry,
i think we should come in before school. It probably would be better since some people will help set up for the other concerts.
