Marching Band Music
What should you be doing at this time?
- LEARN & MEMORIZE your warm-ups.
- LEARN & MEMORIZE the parade music. We only have 2 short rehearsals before we perform it.
- START LEARNING your show music. The more you practice now, the better we will be because we'll be able to focus on the details.
MOST MUSIC will be available on SmartMusic. Use this tool to help you practice. (More details to come)
How to get set-up on SmartMusic:
Go to http://admin.smartmusic.com/join
Use "F4GQ2-VE36Z" as the class code and click "Find Your Class"
You will then be prompted to login or create an account. (Accounts are free to you!)
Once you're logged in:
On the homepage you'll see a list of current "assignments." You can click "more" in the upper right if they don't all show up.
Open an assignment. Click "complete assignment" to practice the music (don't worry - you don't ACTUALLY have to submit it.) The music will appear on your screen.
Hit record to play along with the other parts.
Things that are helpful:
You can adjust the tempo in the upper left.
At the top, you can adjust the volume of the accompaniment (other instruments), "my part" (which can be helpful to practice with), and the metronome. Playing along with "My Part" is a great way to check yourself.
Clicking on the music will let you start in different positions - you don't have to always start from the beginning.
Click on a note and two icons will appear. The one on the left will show the fingering. The one on the right will play the pitch.
Notes that turn green were correct, notes that turn red are incorrect (or, in some cases, it picked up some background noise.) Yellow notes are correct but slightly off time. (Remember - technology is not always perfect. If you get a red note, CHECK THAT NOTE. It is possible you played it right, but CHECK IT before determining that.)

Winds/Brass Warm-Ups

Percussion Warm-Ups
Here is the warm-up packet that Jay gave you this spring. PRINT THESE and put a hard copy in your binder. Bring it to camp!
If you want to come get a drum, email Mrs. B. She can meet you at school and get it to you. Practicing on a pad works as well! For mallet players, you can practice on a piano you have at home to start learning your notes and practice strokes on your own. You could actually purchase mallet practice sheets though they aren't cheap (https://shop.dpgperforms.com/mallet-keyboard-practice-pads/) or draw and make your own.
