Hello Band Parents,

We are still in need of at least one more parent to be a part of the BPA Scholarship Committee. Currently, we have 2 parents. This committee will evaluate each applicant and determine two recipients of the BPA scholarship. The scholarship totals $2,000. This is split between 2 separate candidates receiving $1,000 a piece. Senior parents cannot be on this committee. I will communicate will the committee once it is finalized as to options for meeting as well as materials used. Please respond to this email with your name, number, and email address if you are interested.

Also, please help to encourage your child to access their Teams account daily. Every teacher is posting items to their classes throughout the day. Each teacher posts at various times, so students will need to access this at various times as we.. Believe, me WE KNOW THERE IS A LOT IN YOUR HANDS RIGHT NOW. There is also a lot we are trying to inform your students about especially with band. I know Mr. Weaver and I miss all of our students dearly and are trying our hardest to check up on all of them. There is a ton of information that can also be found on our home page at MiltonHighSchoolBand.com. Please stay in touch and help us all by staying connected. Remember, you are a part of the Mighty Black & Gold, so Together We Are THE MIGHTY BLACK & GOLD!

Thank you and stay safe and healthy!

Hallelujah Project

4/14/2020

Good Morning Students,

I am working on a project that involves all of you. We're bringing the band back virtually performing our 2018-19 arrangement of Hallelujah. I will be using FlipGrid as the primary means to get these videos. Click the links below to access and upload your video to the appropriate class. I have also made assignments out of this in each one of your MS Team band classes. The links below and the Team assignments will take you to the same FlipGrid locations. A few Notes:

There are 3 audio examples for you to use while recording - One with just a click track, one with the full band, and one with the full band and a click track
I count the band in on all three. Some of them I counted in and then counted the first 2 measures of the piece
USE HEADPHONES DURING RECORDING
If you performed this, pleas play that part that you performed. If you did not perform this, pick whichever part you want
Jordan Cassi gets the Alto sax solo at the beginning
Guard, please create your own routine or use the routine from the show
Percussion, be creative with what instruments you use. I realize you are limited, but use anything you can find in your surroundings to create your sound. Be mindful that this is a sentimental song so don't get too crazy.
If you are in multiple band classes, just submit one video to whichever of the band classes
Make sure you submit your BEST performance!!!
Have fun with this!

If you have any questions please ask me. See FlipGrid Links below for individual classes: DUE BY FRIDAY, APRIL 24th
