Weekly Updates: Midterm Week

Tuesday: Evening Vocal Jazz 6:30-8:00pm
Wednesday: Vocal Jazz Ensemble: Clinic with Ned Rosenblatt: 11:00am-12:30
Thursday: Sectional Makeup

MIXED VOCAL JAZZ WEDNESDAY CLINIC:
On Wednesday, Berklee Vocal Jazz Professor Ned Rosenblatt will be coming to Foxboro.  This is an awesome opportunity to work with one of the best!!  *Reminder* Please make sure if you are in mixed vocal jazz ensemble that you come to rehearsal on Wednesday during the Period 3 Midterm!!! Ned Rosenblatt will be coming in to work with us and do a clinic with the singers during the midterm period.  Rhythm section will join in at the end of the school day (at 11:00am) and we will continue to rehearse with him as a full group until approximately 12:30.  Attending this clinic is your "Midterm".

Also, don't forget, every Mixed Vocal Jazz section needs to hold at least 2 student led sectionals.  Work on Magnolia the most.  Email me either after you've met, (or before you've met if you would like me to listen in).  You can meet anytime before or after school and it will count.  These meetings will count as a grade (and allow you and your section to work specifically on the parts that are the most challenging outside of full group rehearsal time).

Choir: Your "Midterm" will be a vocal assessment: specific sections announced tomorrow
Mixed Jazz Choir: Your "Midterm" will be the clinic with Ned Rosenblatt on Wednesday
Treble Jazz Choir: Your "Midterm" will be a vocal assessment of a section or solo of your choice
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure you are listening to the recordings often (daily if possible), and working with the part tracks!  This is essential to learning this much music in a short amount of time.  Doing this will allow us to make even more progress in rehearsals.

See you Tuesday!  Hope everyone is having a safe and happy Martin Luther King Day!
