FOURTH & FIFTH GRADE BAND

Meets Tuesday, Wednesday (in place of some World Music sessions) and Friday from 9:25-10:10. All 4-5 students will need "Measures of Success - Book 1"

SIXTH, SEVENTH & EIGHTH GRADE BAND

Meets Tuesday, Wednesday 8:30-9:20 and Friday from 8:30-9:10. You will need the “Essential Elements 2000 - Book 2” for your instrument. Percussion: in addition to your instrument, concert sticks (all grades), and either one pair medium yarn mallets (Adams, Balter, Yamaha or equivalent), or one pair timpani mallets (Vic Firth T3 Staccato or equivalent) for students in grades 7/8.

FOR ALL INSTRUMENTAL GROUPS

• A pencil, your complete instrument, and music is needed in order to participate. At least three working reeds (for wind players) are needed with you every time class meets. Brass instruments should be oiled and in good working order before each rehearsal starts. Percussionists are responsible for set-up, breakdown and storage of all instruments, accessories and sticks each time we rehearse.

• If you are unable to play due to slight illness, dental work, etc... you can still do fingerings and work with the group. IN-SCHOOL = IN-CLASS = PARTICIPATING – have your instrument! Home practice time is expected of all (consistent daily practice is far more beneficial than “cramming” for an hour once or twice a week - try to schedule your practice time for 4-5 different days of the week for a period of time so it is “part of the routine” and not something “if I get around to it”).

• Home = Practice (where you learn your part), Classtime = Rehearsal (where you learn everyone else’s part, plus new concepts and techniques to practice).

LOST OR DAMAGED PIECES: You will be charged actual replacement & shipping for each lost or damaged original copy of music that was checked out. Any school books that are lost or returned damaged will be charged at the current retail price plus any additional shipping/handling charges.

PAST PROGRAMS INFORMATION

Programs and performances are part of the educational process, not strictly a "finished product" or "entertainment". For example, as part of that process, our second through fourth graders learn recorders as a pre-band instrument before entering fifth grade. Is it important for the students to perform their B-A-G songs for an audience? - Absolutely! As a class, they nominate songs from their books they have learned, and vote on which ones they want to program.

Programs are designed to showcase each ensemble or class at their current level or step in the overall K-8 Music curriculum.

While our resources are limited and many pieces are "recycled", it should be noted that students do not repeat pieces (anything performed by a student will not be re-done by that same student on a different program later on), and most pieces have 2-4 years (or more) before reprogramming. When pieces are reprogrammed, most of the other pieces done are not from the same previous concert, so you will never hear "the same concert" twice.

The following is a list of all pieces programmed since Fall, 2011 and their respective concert date(s):
