Winter Percussion - warmups for Thursday 12/4

The files for drumline warmups can be found on the Google groups site:

https://sites.google.com:443/site/fremontpercussion/

…specifically:

• 8-16 Legato, acc-tap (not worrying about the accent tap part until we go over the techniques on Thursday)
  
• 8th Note Timing Exercise
  

Eventually we'll get to 16th timing and others, so feel free to look though all of them… (though some will change for this season)

Battery Warmups online

We have posted the first batch of battery warmups online here:

The media page has pdf files for most of the things we have handed out so far - so now you can print a copy whenever you want :)

Fall 2008 is fast approaching!

The fall season will be here soon, and the work that we've been doing this summer has been a great start!

There are two more summer percussion practices before band camp:
Tuesday, July 29th, 6-9pm
Tuesday, August 5th, 6-9pm

More posts will be coming soon, and this will be the place to look for exercises, recordings, sheet music and more. You can also look back through the archives to see and hear things we've done in the past, and look at some great information about practicing and equipment for band camp (still true even today!).

Until next time,
Corey
