  1. 1 If I were to do a CMP on a piece, it would be Moscow 1941 because it's history is the most interesting of our pieces and it sounds well musically
    2 And to all a good night, because I had never played crash cymbals before
    3 Fundamentally practice all the notes and patterns
    4 I would like to give a shout out to Rhea for playing the tambourine passionately

  4. 1) I was excited to play X Factor because I had a pretty interesting toms part, which was exciting!
    2) Mine was the same as piece #1 because we had the right energy and it seemed that we all actually liked playing that song. Which gave the whole vibe a fun feeling to it.
    3) 9th graders ‘till 9: WHS Band 9th grade percussion students gets through the concert with little to nothing falling!!!
    4)I would like to give a shout out to Enrique for playing the tambourine so passionately during Nathan Hale :)!!

  5. 1) I was most excited to play X Factor because I feel like we could put all of our energy into the piece and that made it fun to play and listen to.

    2) The piece that we played most accurately and expressively in my opinion was X Factor. It was the same as my answer to the first question because like I said, I think that we put all of our energy into it which made us pay attention to certain things like dynamics.

    3) Varsity Band pulls off great concert last night!

    4) I would like to give a shoutout to Tina for doing an awesome job at playing piccolo in A Walk In The Morning Sun!

  6. 1. The piece I felt most connected to was Abracadabra. I liked playing it because it made me feel happy and I also liked how the mood tended to change throughout the piece so you were always listening for what came next.

    2. The composer that I would’ve wanted to be at the concert was Gustav Holst. I think he would’ve said something about how he could tell we used lots of energy to play the piece and how he could tell that our band really liked playing the angry mood of Mars.

    3. I would like to give a shoutout to the French horns for playing super strong throughout Ammerland and Abracadabra!

  7. 1. I felt most connected to Abracadabra. It made me feel really excited because of its new dynamics and upbeat nature. A bit anxious too, but that’s beside the point! All in all, I was pretty excited.
    2. March of the Irish guard was written for the Irish Guards, which was one of the Foot Guards regiments of the British Army. I think they’d appreciate listening to a song about them, especially with the wars they went through and stuff. Everyone likes to feel appreciated. They’d probably say something like, “Cool!”.
    3. My percussion kids came through!! They did outstandingly, especially in Abracadabra and Mars. They played with excellent dynamics, great volume and tone, and (for the most part) kept the tempo!

  8. 1. I felt most connected to abaracadabra because it had plenty of changes in tempo, tone, and volume. I also liked the story behind all the neat little articlulations that where written into the song.
    2. I think that the actual Irish gaurd that was for the brittish army would have wanted to be there because the familer tunes could have reminded them of there home and would have probably given us a big "maith thú."
    3. I would like to give a shout out to the trombones during abracadabra because they had shone exalent tone and Dynamics.

  9. 1. I felt most connected to Ammerland. The feelings I felt were excited and happy because I was excited for the audience to hear this song because it's a beautiful song and happy because I love playing this song.
    2. I would want Frank Ticheli because I think he would've told us how we well we made it mysterious and how put a lot of work into this piece.
    3. I would like to give a shoutout to the french horns. They did a great job in Ammerland and Abracadabra presenting their instrument.
