2-11-12 Pep Band Observation

1. BHS, Saturday afternoon, Kelly Berhdahl, high school pep band performing at a game
2.  I thought that the students were very well behaved. I think that this is because they all know the procedure and expectations. I think that its much easier to enforce es and regulations when they are clearly explained.
3. I think that the learning goals of pep band are basically similar to that of other ensembles, they might just be a little less obvious since they are playing mostly pop and rock pieces
4. The repertoire here is obviously significantly easier than in concert band, yet there are still lots of things for the students to work on.
5. This experience is obviously relevant to my future as a music educator because it is very likely that I will have a job at some point that will involve pep band.
