Let me make sure this is already up. We had an issue with internalizing the pulse yesterday. Alright, pedal tones.
Ooh, no, that's too fast. What's up? Thanks for watching!
Bad release? Constraint 1, Mr. Air support, so we can have good attack, sustain, release. We want to pay attention.
How many times are we supposed to be climbing? Eight. Eight? So you have to release on time. That's what I mean by, part of the reason we internalize the pulse is we all release together.
Yes? Yes. Yes.
Alright. Long tones. Constraint E flat.
Your chair test is Thursday. So we should have less freaks today. Right parents?
Yes. Music Better. That was a much better release.
Do you agree? Yes. By the numbers.
By the numbers. What type of articulation are we focusing on with this exercise? What type of articulation?
Tongue in. Tongue in. Or staccato. Short and light. Alright, here we go.
Count. Keep letting in. 1, 2, 1, 2, ready, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 3, 2, 1. Good, good. Articulation is getting better and better every day.
Alright, 1, 2, 1. Concentration exercise. We're talking about articulation. Now we're working on 1, 2, 1. Slurring, slurring.
Connecting our notes. Connecting our notes. 1, 2. 1, 2, 1. 1, 2. Remember our sticking pattern. And... You gotta watch flutes.
You gotta watch. Alright. Tears.
Tears. What are we focusing on with tears? Balance. We have to balance.
That's the phone. I know it's hard to play that low C soft, but we gotta practice it. Clarinet. I know it's hard to play these high notes soft, but we gotta practice that. Same thing with flutes.
We have to balance. We have to blend. We all have to sound like one big instrument. Yes?
Percussion. What are we working on? Rolling. Rolling. Clear even rolls.
Now. Alright, clear even rolls. Alright? And if we're playing softly, about how far away should we be from the drum? About how far?
Maybe about three inches or something. Here we go. I have a way with people.
One, two, one, two, hold note, hand. Very good, one more time. Right, note, right. The The The The The The The You gotta watch.
A lot of people who were not in Trinidad and Tobolsk with us, they weren't watching. Alright. Major scales. Yeah. This is coming up.
We're gonna do a concert E flat three times. Then we're gonna do all three scales. How many of y'all are practicing at home and you're gonna do a shared dance?
Ooh, some of y'all are listening. Y'all gonna be ready for Thursday's progressions? Yeah. Okay.
Here we go. I'm gonna say each laugh three times. That's too fast. That's too slow.
There we go. Right there. Go ahead and start to turn the light on.
You're actually doing this with your tongue. Music Rolls, try a little length. And your percussion is now choppy. You need rolls.
Even single stroke rolls. Alright. Concert F, concert B flat, concert E flat.
Concert F, concert B flat, concert E flat. Did you practice? Yes. Clarence, did you make your concert B flat?
Yes. Here we go! All three scales! Coaching, operate for us. Here we go.
Arms up! One, two, three. Pat, sir, pat, and ready, and play, and...
Good job for an extra time for a beat back today. But apparently, saxophones didn't go on every time you sang for a beat back. Which starts on what note?
What made you say that to you? G? You forgot? We gotta turn to a beat back, y'all show them the dance time.
I don't know how you do it, just eat a lot of chicken. Good release, babe. Alright. So, chair test. Thursday.
Alright. I don't expect anybody to take lower than a B, actually. Because I'm hearing good tones, I'm hearing less squeaks from clarinets, that means we got our armature together, that means we fixed our fingers. Alright, I expect high marks from everybody.
This should be a very difficult chair test for me on Thursday. That's what I'm expecting. So everybody go home and work on your E-flats and we can start on our next show on Monday.
Wait, no. On Tuesday. Because we'll be out Monday.
So over your break. If you're going out of the country, you need to take your history and write this down. Yes, it is.
All right. 96. Yes. Let's go. 96. Does not say talking.
Turn the page. Now, let's go back. I want to review 95 and 96. You're supposed to look at 96, y'all. Let's review 95. I know you're ready when you're in a ready position. Are you ready when you're ready?
Alright, quick review. Key signature, flute. What's in it? B flat, B flat, B flat, B flat.
B flat. That's false. That means you have F natural and C natural.
Alright? A few issues with that yesterday. What is our time signature?
3-4. What does that mean? 3 beats per measure. Alright?
Um... Do you see the repeats? Yes. Only one person see the repeat? I see one.
You see one? Okay, where is it? After the first ending. After the first ending. Someone please explain or help us review.
What do we do when we see a first and second ending practice? So you What? So you play through the first ending and then you come back to the beginning and you skip and then you come back to the beginning Alright, everybody remember that, correct? Play all the way through the first ending, do the repeat sign, go back to the beginning, play through, skip the first ending, then go to the second ending.
Alright, any accidentals? Any accidentals? Alright, so what is an accidental?
Some of y'all saying no, which means you're not sure what you're looking for. DeAndre, what's accidental? Shark, flat, and natural, that's not in the key signatures.
So once again, do we have any of those? No, we don't. Any dynamics?
Mezzo forte, what does that mean in real words? Medium full. Any strange things? No.
We got it for motto. What are you supposed to do there? Hold it until the conductor releases you. Hold it until the conductor releases you. We got any phrasing?
Four bar. What type of phrasing? Four bar. Four bar phrasing. That means you need to go four minutes without breathing.
Alright, percussion. You were on Maddox yesterday. Our good old friend Flam is back.

We're going to do a little bit of a slow motion. We're going to do a little bit of a slow motion. We're going to do a little bit of a slow motion. We're going to do a Alright, so I got people that aren't in a ready position anymore.
Come on now. Okay, percussion. Let me get that first measure. Rest, slam, and slam. Alright, we're through.
Rest, slam, and slam. One, one, two, three, first measure. Ready, and rest. Flam, and slam. Do it again.
One, two, ready, and rest. Flam, and slam. Very good.
Repeat the same thing until the end of the song, correct? Yes. Oh, no. No you don't.
In the first ending, what do you have? Three sets of... Three sets of what?
Eight notes. Of eight notes. You need to talk to me, professor.
I don't want to be the type of band director that forgets about y'all. You know, in the back. And y'all back there lighting things on fire. Alright.
One more thing. This new vocabulary word that we got. Thank you. Andante, andante.
What type of word is that? What does it describe? It describes what? Tempo.
Tempo, or the speed of music. Alright? Somebody explain what andante means.
I'll give you an answer. A slow walking tempo. So just the way you walk around school, not running from class to class, and you play the music.
You skip it. Alright. Are you okay? Yeah.
Alright, fondanté technique. So probably right here. Regular walk, regular walking.
Right here, right here. Okay? So, we played this yesterday. It wasn't bad. We did good articulation.
That's what I forgot to ask. Articulation. What do we have in here?
Slur and hand and tongue. Slur and hand and tongue. We got slur two, tongue two, and measure two. Alright? So, let's go ahead and play this so we can move on.
I still don't have everybody in the ready position. Taxi, phone. Play it with me. One, two, three, one, ready, and...
One, two, three, one, ready, and... One, two, three, one, ready, and... That was a bad release.
Everybody play the fermata again because saxophones weren't watching. What's up? Keep your eyes up here, fellas. Play the fermata. Ready?
And... Watch me. Thank you.
Are we starting to go where? We got too many people getting super lazy. I don't know who taught you that, but it wasn't me.
Alright, let's look at number 96. 96. Flutes, what's our key signature? E flat, E flat, A flat. Clarinets?
B flat. Sax follows? Nothing, nothing, I mean everything is natural, everything is natural. What's our time signature this time?
4-4. 4-4, what does that mean? 4 beats per measure or common time, 4 beats per measure or common time. Any accidentals? No.
Dynamics. What? A measure of forte.
What does that mean? Meaning full. And forte.
And forte? Where's the forte? Last two measures. Last two measures. So it needs to be what?
Loud. Not loud. Full. Alright. Any...
articulations? Tongue. Tongue. What's that in the bear again?
Accent. What you supposed to do when you stand? You see an accent.
Only the front row of clarinets? And David? No? Ethan is participating!
Ethan! What do you see when you see an accent? Not extra loud.
You do put a little bit more on it, but I'm looking for another word. Let's use our middle school word. It starts with an E. Dave, do you remember what it is? Emphasis.
You put a little bit more emphasis on it. It's not like punches the body and kick it. You're like, fuck Adam.
A little bit. It's a little like that. Alright. Do you see the times it repeats? Any repeats?
No. Dynamics. Strange things. There's a multi-measure rest.
Again, for... Everybody except for percussion. So let's practice counting our multi-measure rests. How many measures is it? Two.
Two. So let's practice counting. One, two, just count.
One, two, ready, and... One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four.
You guys are so smart. He made it, we made it together didn't we? Alright, we made it together. Alright, so... A little rule.
When it's four or more, you stay in ready position. When it's three or less, you stay in playing position. So with this multi-measured rest, are we going to be in playing position or ready position?
Playing position. We're going to be in playing position, so that way we're ready to play in measure three. Correct? Alright, we have a new vocabulary word.
Moderato. Moderato. Everybody say it. Moderato.
Moderato. Everybody say it. Moderato.
Moderato. Moderato. Alright, so what English word does that sound like?
Moderate. Moderate. So when you think of something that's moderate, what do you think?
Medium. Kind of medium. We're not like, oh my god!
Alright, but we're kind of like regular. We like chill, whatever. So it's not like ridiculous or out of line. We're moderate.
Alright, somebody please read for me the definition of the tempo marking moderato. Oh, Julia. Moderate. Moderate or medium tempo. Are we going to play super fast?
No. Are we going to play super slow? No.
How are we going to play? Medium. Medium.
Like a jog. Okay, so since Dante is walking, we kind of have a medium little jog. We're not running, but we're jogging.
Okay, so probably... A gazelle? Yeah! So, drop it down right here.
So, everybody pat your foot to this tip right here. Ready? And... Tap! Alright, so everybody got our moderate tempo?
Yes? Alright, so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to say airplay. Percussion, there's our good old friend, multi-bounce.
Show it back up. So percussion, I would like you to play as the band airplays. Band, remember if you have a multi-measure rest, I would like you to count your rest out loud, please. Are you going to be in a plank position or a red position?
Plank. Plank position, so let's try it. We're going to airplay. Here we go. Arms up.
Okay. Touch and play wins our finger. One, two, one and two and ready and play and rest, rest, and Alright, give it a little emphasis again. Alright, I did not hear a difference in volume with your sizzling.
So let's try that again and make sure we get the dynamic change, okay? Okay? Alright, let's try it again. Good job, percussion!
Thank you. Here we go. What's up? Airplay one more time.
Make sure you're getting that low A. I know it's a big jump from F, but make sure you keep your fingers close to the keys. You got a low A too.
You made the second. Yeah, low A. Here we go.
One, two, catch the rest out loud, two, three, four. One, two, three, four, two, three, four. Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta.
Okay, I believe we're ready. Rest position, let's do this right. Rest position, let's do it right.
Don't talk when you stop. See, you missed what I said, which was rest position. Because you were talking. Ready position. Thank you.
Here we go. Officer, Air Support, if you're in a taxi, stand with your hands up wide. You're better than everybody else. Here we go. One, two, one, two, count your breaths.
Alright, okay. Let's discuss. Alright, tell me three things we did well. Let me start with that. Three things we did well.
Billy. The last note. The last note, we did, we got our accents, we did. Orin, one thing we did well. We tried to keep tempo.
How you doing? We did the multi-measure rest. We did the multi-measure rest very well. Alright, give me three things that we need to improve the next time.
Other Lucas? Some people were playing faster than others. Some people were keeping tempo, okay.
Sam? We had our time. We had our time.
We had our time. We had our time. We had our time. We had our time. We had our time.
There was some blasting at the end. I felt like you guys didn't play me as a forte when we started. Alright, one more thing that we could improve upon. Ummm, I haven't asked for food yet. Sarah?
Umm, like the whole song, I feel like it was kind of soft. And then at the end, you know, it was like... That one note was loud, yeah.
Alright, let's try this again. I'm going to slow it down just a little bit for practice purposes. Alright, but our eighth notes were really muddy.
I couldn't tell the difference between the ta and the ti-ti. I couldn't tell the difference. I'm going to slow it down just a little bit for practice purposes.
Now I need to hear the dynamic change. We started with mezzo forte and then go to forte. It's not a hard jump, but I do need to hear the difference.
Understand? Understand. Practice at home. This is rehearsal.
Here we go. Arms up. Slow it down just a little bit.
I'll probably bring it back to Andante, which means what? Walking. Walking tempo.
This is for practice purposes. Here we go. One, catch your breath. Two.
One, two, ready, and... Excuse me, how many bees does a dotted half note get? Three! Three, so why do I have people on the front row of Claire and Ed land only playing it for two? It wasn't you.
It was somebody. Let me hear the last two measures please at four feet. Last two measures please. Put it up.
One, two, last two measures. One, two, ready, and... Alright, let's take it from the top.
From the tippy top. Ready position. Ready position. Play position. Take the tempo back up.
One, two. One, two, ready, and. And.
Hi! What do we have at the beginning of our song? That's multi-measure rest.
What is a rest? Solitude. What is a rest? Solitude. What is a rest?
Solitude. It is musical and legal. Lay on the rest.
Let's try this again. One, two. One, two, ready, count!
Oh, y'all remembered. Okay, alright. Some good little performance etiquette there.
Alright, we have time for one more exercise. Go Diego, go. No, that's not what that says. Number 97. Excuse me. Number 97, please.
Alright, our key signature has changed. Flutes to what? B flat and E flat. B flat and E flat. Clarinets?
Nothing. Nothing. So now we're going back to B naturals. Okay.
Saxophones? F sharp. F sharp means we're going back to F sharp, but still C natural.
Alright, our time signature is what? 4-4. 4-4.
Four beats per measure. Any repeats? No. Accidental.
dynamics what? Forte Where is the forte? First measure and?
And the last two measures. Where is mezzo forte? Between those two. Alright, so that means I need to hear a difference in your volume of playing, yes?
Yes. Alright, um... Thank you. Any special articulations?
Slurring. Slurring. We have slur to tongue to.
T-E-I-T-T. Where's the last time we seen that? Remember?
Shepherds'hay. T-E-I-T-T. It says slur to tongue to.
And we also have what? I see these too. What are these? Accents.
Means to give more what? Emphasis. Alright. Any... Any weird rhythms or strengths?
No, no, we do have, I need all excess noise to cease. Thank you. We do have a new vocabulary word. A new tempo marking.
What is it? Allegro. A what? Allegro.
Not allergic. Allegro. Allegro. I'm a lab percussionist. Tell me what allegro means this time.
Come on, Abba. I'm a lab percussionist. Tell me what allegro means this time.

I'm a lab percussionist. A fast tempo. So if Anate was here and Madarato was here, Allegro should be what? Here.
No, not like that opponent. But Anate walking, Madarato jogging, Allegro should be? Running.
Running. Now we're not sprinting, that's more like it about. Now sprinting, we're just running.
Alright, CV day if you don't finish. Alright, so I want us to air play. Excuse me.
Focus. We're almost done. Alright?
I'd like us to air play. Please pay attention to your slur to tongue twos. And please pay attention...
