8th grade Honor Band permission form

Please look over this permission slip that was going to be given out this week but we couldn't give because of the weather.  I hope that we will return on Friday and I can print this and give to students, but if you have a printer at home and can print and sign and return, that would be great!  Looking forward to this event next week with our 8th graders!

I will pick two) and the chromatic scale....these need to be memorized and at least one octave (more points for double octaves)  Also you need to learn the marked spots of your All-West TN band music:

I have posted the Allwest Music and Allwest Scales to everyone's smart music page.  I did not have the timpani or xylophone files but will work on making video or audio files for you to work with.  Use these links as tools..... SLOW IT DOWN and isolate measure by measure to learn it.  You will not have to turn those assignments in and they have a "due date" of Jan. 13 which is the day of Allwest auditions.  
 
Let me know if you have any questions and practice practice practice!
