Interview someone in our band that performed in the concert. Answer the following questions and write a paragraph with their answers.

1) What did we do in the warm-up room and how did if effect our stage performance? (Suggestions: Behavior, warm-ups, posture checks, etc) 2) How did you think the stage performance went? What could have gone better? (Items to consider: behavior, getting on and off the stage, posture, energy of the music, overall musical performance, stage experience)

Completely answer the following essay topic with complete sentences and in an essay form.

There is no maximum or minimum however you will be graded on effort (main idea, detail, accuracy, and mechanics) just like in a standard rehearsal or performance.

Your paper must be organized to clearly express your opinions of the performance. Your paper must be typed, no bigger than 12 pt font, double spaced, max 1” margins. Your paragraphs must have a main sentence and 4 or 5 supporting sentences. Be as

specific as possible. Use measure numbers, parts, with proper musical terminology. Attach a MSBOA rubric with your score of the performance to your paper.

Part 2: Record yourself playing through the concert music. This can be done before or after school with Mrs. Schack recording or on your laptop. You can also email your recording if you choose to record on your laptop. mschack@richmond.k12.mi.us

You will not be graded individually on your performance. This is a pass/fall portion of the makeup assignment.
