For our rehearsal this coming week (July 3):
Concert band: remember to spend some time with Db Major (5 flats) scale
and arpeggio, and let's see if we can add Gb Major (6 flats) to the mix.
As Deborah was asking last week, there are enharmonic spellings here,
and if you look at the circle of 5ths worksheet I handed out the other
day, you will see that Db Major is the same as C# Major (7 sharps), and
Gb Major is the same as F# Major (6 sharps).We didn't get to Stars and Stripes last week, so plan on that, along
with Blue Tango, Shaker Variants, Under the Double Eagle, and we'll see
what else we might pass out (we have more new music that has been donated!).Jazz band: we'll look at some new things along with a couple of the
newer things we have been trying recently.I sure enjoy working with all of you. See you Thursday!
