Kazoos are cool!

What is the one thing that you don't want to do when you have a massive headache? Listen to anything, is the answer!! But...

Advanced Band had a writing assignment today, in class. They were to be video taped playing their Christmas songs, and then they had to analyze themselves playing. I had many students tell me that we sounded like a beginning band, not an advanced band. Gee... I wonder how we can make that better! Funny... the instrument rack here at school is still very full of instruments, even tho they have a concert next Wednesday!

Beginning Band, who sounds more like an advanced beginning band is doing very well on their songs for the concert on the 9th. I can tell that they are each practicing really hard and when we come together to play as a group, each person takes their own tempo, and we have a discombobulated mess! Once we played through it a couple times, we sounded pretty good! They only have two more rehearsals until next Wednesday's concert! (ps. our kazoos for the Dec. 16th play are coming along nicely!)

3rd graders took their final piano test today. Hopefully everyone got a 100%! Look for that test to come home next Wednesday!

8th grade bells seem to think that next week s concert is farther away than it is! We had a few issues today, but to Nick and Kody........rock on gentlemen! You both have never played so well! :) David, you are still on my list...
