Today we reviewed the 2 rules of the rehearsal:
1. If the director stands up on the podium, all noise stops. He/she has something important to say or directions to give.
2. Always play with good sound. Loud and obnoxious sounds are not acceptable, unless the music or the director asks for them.
We started by practicing playing the first 5 notes of our instruments up and down.
Flutes, oboes, trombones, baritones, and bells: Bb, C, D, Eb, and F.
Clarinets and trumpets: C, D, E, F, and G.
Saxophones: G, A, B, C, and D.
French horns: F, G, A, Bb, and C
We played "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and discussed how it sounds better when we all stay together and play at the same speed. Mrs. Mayer showed on the screen how the different sections of "Symphonic Variants" fit together.
Parents met with Mr. Amundson in the study hall. Look for more information soon on that meeting if you missed it today!
