    d. (4. Relaxed shoulders; no tension in the body!)

    Goal: SWBAT perform F&F with accurate balance at m. 37-45


    1. Play from measure 37-end
    2. Saxophones and Clarinets will most likely be too loud at m. 37
    a. Tell them to support the flute, trumpets, and bells who have the quarter notes on
    every beat theme
    b. The conductor is having difficulty hearing them, so the audience will too!
    c. Ask everyone with half notes to play as if they were whispering an important
    secret to the person next to them

    4. Have flutes, trumpets, chimes, and bells play at m. 37, tell them I’ll be listening for
    accents / Prompt the rest of the band, have them listen to hear if they are playing accents
    a. Raise your hand if you think the flutes, trumpets, chimes, and bells were playing
    ACCENTS
    i. Does it sound like every note is accented, or just some? Commented [1]: next time, do some modeling and
    prompting
    b. Have the trumpets, flutes, and bells play louder, triumphantly!
    c. They have the green light to play very loud with a beautiful sound
    d. The trumpets, flutes, and bells have accented quarter notes in contrast with the
    quiet, connected half notes

    a. Repeat, add dynamics to clapping
    b. Repeat, slower
    c. May need to hold off on percussion for a bit
    2. Starting at m. 50, a big crescendo to the end!
    a. Students did a really great job with this last week, and we want to keep it that
    way!
    3. Percussion and musicians with moving pitches will drive the crescendo towards the end
    4. “Let’s practice the cut off of the last note!”
    a. [This is both for the students and conductor! :)]
    b. Practice the cut-off at least three times

    2. Have flutes play at beginning, just the first few measures
    a. Think “tee”
    3. Have trumpets, clarinets and saxophones play at m. 3
    a. Reminder to grow through the whole note in m. 4
    b. Accents! Are you doing a good accent?
    c. Also think “tee” on quarter notes
    4. Trombones, baritones, baritone saxophone at m. 7
    a. Clear articulation, like we just worked on at m. 37
    b. Also, add a little space between the quarter notes

    Goal: Students will be able to play through from beginning to the end
