Finally...  Beginning in the 3rd marking period  (2nd semester) 7th and 8th grade band students will have examples out of their technique books in which they will need to work-on and share with Mr. D. on "Google Classroom".  Playing examples will be on a bi-weekly basis and will be worth 10 pts.  each time.  The grading category will be under "homework" as it is the work they accomplish on their own, outside of the band rehearsal/class!
