The 4th Grade Band had a great rehearsal last week. We successfully played through ‘Big Rock Candy Mountain’ for the first time without stopping. We also played through ‘Bag O’ Blues’ and ‘Classical Canon.’
The next and final rehearsal is Wednesday, May 13th at 8:05AM. We will start with ‘Dr. Rock’ and ‘Minor Rock’ and will then turn back to ‘Rio Bravo’ and play as many of the remaining songs as we can in the time that is left.
Then it is showtime! The concert is Tuesday May 19th at 7PM.

Yesterday’s 4th Grade Band rehearsal went very well! We accomplished everything on the agenda. We played through ‘Royal Crown March’ and ‘Boot Scootin’ Barn Dance.’
We made more progress on ‘Big Rock Candy Mountain,’ but we still have some work to put it together as a full band. Review BRCM on your own at home, and make sure you are counting all notes AND rests properly.
Great job! Next rehearsal is Wednesday, April 22nd at 8:05AM.
