 Percussion, here is a message from Ms. Wilson!
Hi all,
Next week we will be preparing for our concert that is on November 11th. Stdents need to bring snare and bells on Wednesday and Friday next week. On Wednesday we will be playing with the beginning brass class in the band room. They have "homework" this weekend in practicing the following songs in their books. They need to say the letter names of the pitches in rhythm (bell music-right page).
#16 – Hot Cross Buns
 #17 – Au Clair De La Lune
#18 – Down By The Station
 #23 – Merrily We Roll Along
 #24 – Lightly Row (Duet)
#26 – Good King Wenceslas
#27 - Song Of The Fjords
#32 - Jolly Old St. Nicholas
As percussionists, the students are required to learn how to play every part available for all of these songs and then we will assign people to parts on Friday. Each student will play bells, snare, and bass drum at least once. If you have any questions, please email me.
Thanks!
Jen Wilson
