This year our band students have the opportunity to work with a new online rehearsal platform called Upbeat. Last week, our WE students finished their first project, the YHS fight song “Stand up and Cheer.” It is attached. Hope our music brightens your day! More to come.
To all of our students – thank you for your patience as we deal with the learning curves that music technology (and technology in general) presents. To be successful, here is what students will need:
1. A device with working audio and video (so Ms. Kluga can hear them when they play and see their posture and finger/stick technique).
2. Headphones
3. Power cable
Friday 11/6 is the last day of Quarter #1.
Below is a list of this week’s sessions. Huge thanks to our awesome upperclassmen leaders for hosting! For this quarter our YHS Band students, grades 9-12, have clocked a total of 111 periods of guided practice so far!
Due to the updated YCSD calendar, Ms. Kluga needed to make some lesson changes for November. The updated lesson calendar is available on Dashboard.
Nice job at rehearsal this week! It was so much fun to see you all having fun together!
Please plan on attending your sectional this week – check your e-mail for the link. Have your notes and rhythms ready to work on Critical Mass.
Thursday 11/5 from 2-3pm is our next rehearsal. Practice your music so you are confident, then we can have fun putting it together!
