Playing Appointments for this week (to be added Mon/Tues)
Soundtrack Project Guidelines 2016-17
Click title to open doc. Remember – students in MS6, MS7, and US Band (not US Jazz) must have selected a video (or created one) for the project, downloaded the video, and extracted the soundtrack. Come to class having all of those things done, so you can use your time to most effectively edit and record. There are links on the soundtrack project guidelines doc with videos instructing you how to do these steps.
Audio folder updated
Click title to open folder. All students have access to Mr. Grush’s audio folder. Sample recordings for T2 are in the T2 folder. We will no longer use the T1 folder. Rehearsal recordings will be in your class folder, inside the T2 folder.
All-District Band auditions
- If you plan to audition, please bring a check made out to Cary Academy on the first day of class in T2. (No later than Fri. Dec. 2, though).
- If you have already done some work on the scales/solo for auditions, then you should try out. If you have not, you should email me immediately and work over break.
- If you audition, you should use your audition material as your preparation assessment for T2. If you make it, you can choose anything you wish to record for your T3 preparation assessment and only have to do one for T3.
- If you have questions, please go to the websites below, then email me ASAP if you still have questions. I have to register every CA student, so just use the site for information.
- $8 per instrument for All-District Band – checks made out to Cary Academy
- $15 per instrument for All-Region Jazz – checks made out to Cary Academy
- Auditions are Jan. 7 at Cary HS. You will be on your own for transportation. More info in December, but here are the websites for Central District Band and Central Region Jazz.
