Concert Band Recordings from 2/22 Concert

Thank you for a great concert last night, Concert Band!  I very much enjoyed sharing the stage with you and hearing the playing that resulted from your work since Winter Break.  I have attached the recordings from the concert last night.  Please use the recordings to evaluate the concert and answer the reflection questions on this blog in the comment section.  Let's set goals to make our Denver concert the best one yet!

Tempered Steel

Symphonic Prelude

Star Wars II: Leia's Theme


Star Wars V: Main Theme


QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION


1.  The composers of our music from this concert are all still very much alive.  If you could have invited one of them to our concert, which would you have invited?  Why?
2.  Name at least one "psycho-motor" (physical skill on your instrument) element that you improved or developed during this concert cycle that you now feel confident with.

3.  What was the strongest affective (emotional/expressive) moment you experienced while playing this concert?  

4.  Name one psycho-motor skill and one knowledge goal you would like to master before our May concert (i.e. I would like to be able to triple tongue at mm=100, and I would like to learn more about the music theory behind key signatures in minor keys)

5. What was the most interesting comment you heard from someone who attended the concert regarding the concert itself?  In other words, did your parents, family, friends, twitter, etc...have any constructive feedback or noteworthy praise of the concert?

6.  Would you like to give a shout-out to anyone who you thought did an outstanding job at the concert?
