Sixth Grade Band Bulletin---lite
September 8, 2017
Important info below
It was great seeing so many of you at the Curriculum Night. I continue to be incredibly impressed by the work ethic in class of all these students. Thanks for all you do in instilling that at home!
This will be a very short list of items:
1. ROTOLOPALOOZA! Tickets will go on sale Thursday, September 14th. I will send you a separate email that is going out to all music students right after this. You can download the waiver form and also sign up to volunteer or donate Gatorade/Water.
2. Practice Journals: Will be completed totally by the student (no parent signatures) online. Each Practice Journal will be due on a Tuesday so we can have a day to remind them. The next one is due on September 12. The Link for the Google Form can be found in Google Classroom. I will also be emailing the link to the students.
3. First assessments on the horizon: You will see in Powerschool that there are three future assessments (quizzes) entered. These are in PS already just so everybody knows they are coming. Nobody is overdue.
Rhythm Quiz: Students will be taking a rhythm quiz in class. It will have note and rest values along with counting of basic rhythms.
CLOUDS Playing Quiz: Students will be performing 8 measures from their piece Clouds. This will be done using the chromebook at home. We are currently working out a glitch in the chromebook. The due date will be pushed back to make up for this.
SCALE/THIRDS QUIZ: Later in September, students will pass off their first of six scales. Students will be assigned two exercises (one being the scale) to perform on the chromebook (just like the Clouds Test).
4. Instrument Contracts: If your child plays a school-owned instrument (including percussion), he/she would have received a contract. Percussion Contracts are Pink and Brass/WW contracts are Yellow. If your child is still holding on to that contract, please send it back ASAP. I'll be emailing those I do not have a contract from.
Thanks for reading everybody! Have a fantastic Weekend!!
Sincerely
Rob Buckley
