8th Grade Band,

Here is the assignment for the next three weeks. It is very difficult to re-create band class remotely or online, but the best thing we can do is to make sure everyone is practicing their instrument. The assignment is provided and described in the "Waterloo Band 'Shut Down' Assignment - 8th 1" document.

Additionally, an online resource that could provide you with material to practice and with some feedback is explained in the other document "Smart Music Resource." This online resource has our method book on it and records and gives you a grade based on how well you play the example. I encourage you to use it if you have a computer available at home.

Please let me know if you have any questions about these assignments, and make sure you are practicing you instrument!
