IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:
Do your best. You may not be able to play everything at the recommended tempos, but still learn the pieces.
Mr. Dudzinski wants to see how accurately you and play the selections. Practice with a tuner and a metronome.
Ask for help if you need it. Ask your band teacher or private lesson teacher. You can even send Mr. Dudzinski a video of sections for which you would like feedback!
