12/5: Expo Night! We will be playing "Take Five" OR "Ode to Joy," depending on which section of band you are in. Here's the music for both, below. Remember, if you can't make it, let me know and I'll provide a makeup assignment.

November: This is a BIG month for us! We're going to work on some new music, finish "Thriller," and perform on Multi-Cultural Night!

Due 11/2: If you missed the Spooktacular, either send me a video of yourself playing all the parts for "Thriller," or show me your parts during my Monday or Tuesday office hours.

Due 11/15: Multi-Cultural Night performance. As always, attendance is mandatory!

EXTRA CREDIT: If you missed an assignment or if you got a low grade on your project, you can get extra credit for performing during the Open Mic part of Multi-Cultural night! See me for email me for details.

October:

We've got a real crazy song on our hands for the next few weeks: "Thriller!" I've got links for the studio version of the song, the long-form music video, and a video of me playing all of the parts in our arrangement! Remember, we are playing the Spooktacular on October 26th, and attendance is GRADED AND MANDATORY! If you can't make it, come see me, and I'll give you further instructions.

Due 10/26: Spooktacular Performance

Due 10/29, 30, or 31 (Depending on when I see you first): You have your musical October goals due at the end of the month! Come see me if you need help, or cannot remember what your goals are. Remember, these goals are pass/fail - meaning if you do not achieve your goals, you do not pass the assignment! Don't leave them to the last minute. I've attached the project description below.
