Watch the video for your introduction and explanation of what you have to work on this week. Lots of great stuff - HAVE FUN!
OBSERVATION
Watch one of the YouTube videos below! There is one for Band, one for Jazz, and one for Percussion. While you watch look for performance etiquette: How do the performers address the audience, are they professional, how do they act on stage, what is the quality of the visual and audio performance? In other words make sure you SEE as much as you hear!
