We are preparing for the Remembrance Day Assembly (Tuesday November 8 during block 4). Students will wear all black (no band ties) and a poppy. We will be playing O Canada and Peace. Please practice playing with dynamic contrast (blowing softly with warm air on a dandelion puff), and long phrases (no throwing our friends off the cliff). There is a recording of Peace found here: http://www.manhattanbeachmusiconline.com/frank_ticheli/peace-virtual-score.html
