Symphony Band Blog Assignment 4/30-5/1

Symphony Band Members,

As you know, we recorded our concert repertoire in order on Thursday.  Please listen to the following recordings and then make a post in the "Comments" section at the bottom of the blog box.  You are only required to comment on one "area for improvement" in one of the pieces, however, you are encouraged to use the embedded rubric to listen to the entire five pieces and have a plan of attack for the next two weeks.  I have made a "model post" below if you would like to see a format or structure you should make your comment in.  Your comment is worth 5 points:

1 Point for the comment being successfully posted
1 Point for the comment relating to a specific piece we are playing
1 Point for the comment including a SPECIFIC measure number (or set of measure numbers)
1 Point for the comment referring to a SPECIFIC term on the embedded rubric (i.e. blend, intonation, entrances, releases, etc...)
1 Point for the comment stating a plan for improving said skill

The comment MUST be posted BEFORE 10:33 AM on Friday, May 1.  Thank you for your investment in YOUR ensemble's success.  Remember, “The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.” (-Vince Lombardi


Sincerely,
Mr. K
