Welcome to the SCMEA Div III West Band site. I hope you are as excited about our concert as I am! I created this page to help you to prepare to have a great rehearsal and concert experience. I hope you’ll enjoy it’s contents.
Rehearsals:
- Please be prompt and attentive for all rehearsals
- Be ready to work hard and to have your music present and your instrument in working order
- Bring:
- a pencil with an eraser. Two would be even better
- mutes as indicated in music
We will use a Bb concert scale to warm up but be prepared to play other scales as well. Especially scales represented by keys we’ll be playing in the concert. Also, we’ll learn the John Paynter / Remington warm up. You may not know this so try doing some googling!
Notes:
Click: Here are notes for Friday, March 7 rehearsal
Here you can find my notes on the program. You may find it a bit difficult to understand but the notes read left to right like a musical score. The measure numbers are indicated along the top and my notes are listed above and below. Yellow sections indicate what I anticipate to need special attention. I encourage you to practice these spots in particular.
