Junior High MAY CONCERT
FCI 6th MAY CONCERT
Our last day of band at FCI will be Friday 5/17/19. If you are renting from Paige's you will keep your instruments over the summer.
If band is not on your schedule for next (we hope you change it so it does though) you can return your instruments to Paige's. We recommend that you take your instrument to the store just to be 100% sure that it is returned in a timely manner.
ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR
SCALES - Book 1 Pg. #37 Scales - Some of these will be played live in class some are to be recorded and submitted. All woodwinds will be playing these during their class time. Brass and percussion will need to record and submit CONCERT Ab and the Bb Chromatic Scale (their finger chart). The other scales will be played during class.
PRACTICE RECORDS - we will not be passing out a practice record for these last 5 weeks. You should still see and encourage student's home practice habits as their upcoming concert and scale tests are important.
