ADMIT IT - YOU'RE BORED. HOW ABOUT A LITTLE PRACTICE?
ADMIT IT - YOU'RE BORED. HOW ABOUT A LITTLE PRACTICE?
#rhymeswithcactus
Measures 1-110 of the show are DONE. You can download and practice your part below. Note that the whole show is in one file for each instrument, but only measures 1-110 are ready so far. I'm still working on the rest. So, download your part and go practice!
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE RHYTHM: At least make sure you understand the right notes. Check the key signature and make sure you know the right fingerings. If you are confident with all the notes, then teaching you the rhythms will be a lot easier.

ARE YOU READY FOR BAND CAMP?
ARE YOU READY FOR BAND CAMP?
WHAT TO BRING/WEAR:
Hat with a brim
Sunglasses
sunscreen
a water jug, if you have one
A comfortable shirt or top. It must cover your shoulders AND your midriff (belly button).
ATHLETIC SHOES. You can bring crocs or flip-flops for indoor rehearsals, but when we are outside, you need proper footwear.
ATHLETIC SHORTS. Denim is not allowed. Do not wear denim. Khaki shorts are OK, but running shorts or basketball shorts are best.
Some people like to wear pants all the time. That is fine, BUT, no denim.
A few other tips for band camp success:
EAT BREAKFAST! Even if you usually don't eat breakfast, please eat something during band camp. Avoid mild/dairy. Fruit and toast are great.
HYDRATE! Start hydrating NOW for band camp. Drink plenty of water and avoid carbonated drinks starting now.
ACCLIMATE TO THE HEAT. In other words, get used to it. Go outside. Here's a crazy thought: Bring your instrument outside with you.
