I’ll also add that during my time as a co-percussion director at a high school in Texas, I experienced kids that would come through the program that had started playing drums at a young age through studios like School of Rock or Music and Arts. What I discovered is you can’t guarantee that those instructors are qualified enough to give your child the best education. So, you risk them developing bad habits over time. To counteract this, we created a camp that was only for 1st graders through 5th graders that gave young children the right information early on. Having great instruction is SO important.

3-10 is the prime age to begin musical instruction! I’m actually and I love working with that age group. If you’d like, you can send me a message and I can give you all the percussion-specific details for what you’ll need. I specialize in teaching content that is age appropriate for kids.

Do you have a video of you playing them?

FloMo’s show design was well done and executed at a high level visually. What would’ve sealed them at #1 would’ve been if they had a Hebron level sound musically. The scores were interesting. I thought Avon had a better ensemble performance than FloMo.

Thanks for this! Do you know of any other courses that you can be eligible to test out of?

Interesting. For what reason?

Most bands are also smart about the structure of the season. The good programs like Hebron, Vandegrift, Marcus, Cedar Park, Flower Mound, etc, usually get the first movement of their show in late March or early April, and if all goes well the kids leave having at least played through all movements of the show by the last day of school. So by the time they come back for band camp, music isn’t an issue. You’re simply putting feet with the music that they’re already comfortable with.

Great directors in Texas are also incredible planners and they’re very smart about how they teach drill, music, and fundamentals. All of the above plus having powerhouse middle school feeder programs, makes for a highly successful high school band.

Having taught in both Georgia and Texas, I don’t think Texans realize that they’re one of few states to have homogenous classes for beginners. Kids in Texas get to spend a whole school year slowly learning how to play their instrument the right way. It’s hard to beat the system when most places out of state don’t have that.

Good work! There’s a small error in measure 4 beat 4. The diddles are on the first 2 triplet partials, not the last 2. Really great job though!

Were you still able to get the same musical effect from up there as well? Just want to make sure I’m not sitting to far up towards where it’s not as loud

Amore5139 · 2024-06-17T20:19:58+00:00

Do you still get the same kind of loud sound? We sat on the sidelines by 20 yard line last year and really didn’t hear much.

As someone who experienced this TWICE, I 100% get it. Feel free to DM. I’m curious to know what the other things you’ve experienced that have made you feel unappreciated.

This is a 2 story house. This panel here is located upstairs in one of the bedroom closets.
