More specifics for repertoire for January 28

4th Grade

My goal will be for us to perform Dana the Manatee (p 9), Eclipse (10), and Seesaw (11) from Smart Violin at the assembly (with guitar students backing us up). Although March of the Crazy Ants (8) is a good song, the sheet music is harder to read, so we will skip over that as a group for now (I know some students have mastered it individually) and return to it after the assembly.

I think a number of students will become quite proficient with 3 songs, and students who feel unsure will be able to contribute and be carried by the group.

I am of course ready to adjust if it becomes too stressful (these will be new songs for many of the students).

5th & 6th Grade

6th graders made a reasonable plea to keep Handel's Processional off the program for January 28--they've performed it at assemblies for 2 years in a row. We will aim to perform the Chorale (all students should practice both the A and B parts for this one), the Gavotte for 2 violins, and King William's March (again with guitars backing us up).
