1st period-Beginning Middle School Band where I sometimes direct the entire rehearsal
2nd period-Percussion where 12 students have just been organized into 4 ensembles and selected a piece that they will perform in the concert towards the end of the semester. A daily schedule is to set up for 2 minutes, have the 4 ensembles rehearse on the instruments for 10 minutes each (the other ensembles are rehearsing or practicing just not on the instruments) with 2 minutes between and 2 minutes to strike the set.
3rd period-Prep when my lead teacher and I lesson plan which is when he puts ALL his classes on the board.
4th period-Beginning band which is composed of the four 5th grade classes coming on an A/B day schedule (2 classes on A days and the other 2 on B days). They’re just getting to making notes on the instruments.
Advisory-12 sophomores get together with us and have activities to aid in being better students.
LUNCH-almost always spent in the faculty lounge (always interesting discussions)
5th-Economics, but I observed Concert Band this last week.
6th-Jazz Band where we have a performance this coming Friday: Fall Festival at the school, and all are welcome to come enjoy music, dance and food!
7th-Wind Ensemble where I rehearse a particular march.
The school day ends with me running off to work my 8 hour shift.
