Upcoming Spring Training 5/18/17

Just a reminder that the next Spring Training will be this Thursday, 5:30-7:30.  Meet in band room, but we will practice somewhere else, due to parent orientation 7:00-9:00.  There will be a band Spring training afterwards from 6:30-8:30, and drumline and pit auditionees are not expected to attend that, but are welcome to hang out afterwards to work in small groups until the end of the parent orientation.

For all of you thinking about a battery spot, be sure to check out the bass drum audition material posted here: https://wandopercussion.edublogs.org/music-downloadables/audition-materials/.  There are 4 playing examples, and an audio file that goes along with the music.   All 4 of these will be fair play for the audition, and I strongly recommend that anyone interested in doing anything associated with the drumline learns the entire bass audition just in case they don’t get the spot they first desired.

In addition to that, especially in regards to snare and tenor auditions, be sure to be placing the most attention on skills, technique and overall sound production, rather than learning as much music as possible.  Work the technique, and the music will be easier and stronger.

Please don’t hesitate to email me at Handel@wandobands.org if you have any questions.
