Welcome back to the Carberry Collegiate Band Program. I'm so glad you've decided to stick with band - it's going to be a great year of music making! We will spend this year improving our playing skills, musical literacy, and listening skills. We will also touch on theory and history concepts. Use your Google Classroom page to find more specific resources for your playing as well as any digital assignments.
Please keep these dates free as it is important that we have our entire ensemble for performances.

Playing Test Reminders:
-Playing tests should be uploaded to the Google Classroom page.
-Make sure it's a video of you playing not just audio.
-I should be able to see your upper body/head so I can check fingerings.
Pro Tips:
-Start recording several days before the due date so you have lots of time to practice and get better!
-Find a quiet place in your house to record where you aren't distracted. (See Mrs. Burke if you need to use the band room to record in.)
-If you're having technical troubles, take a screen shot as evidence that your assignment wasn't late.
