THE Blog Again, Again!: (http://theinfinitemusic.posterous.com)  Read it, love it, be it.

Ode to Oscar Final Edited: This is really fun and is really starting to gel.

The Swing Jam: This is more complex and interesting - really amazing to see you guys improvising on your own - we'll incorporate this kind of thing into the performance.

Bonus Jam FAST from the end!:

NOTE: Lobdell on Thursday for final rehearsal!

Quick points that we went over today:
- Tempo: we covered this a bit today.  You guys are doing really well.  Keep that foot tapping to the beat! And watch each other always.

- Feeling the groove: head nodding in half time really works and will help you stay in the beat.

- Improvisational memory: toward the end we went ahead and did sections A and B of improv - I'll have notecards next time. 

- Keeping it smooth, anticipating the next piece.

- A few changes on D - see the photo.  We'll practice this a few times next time, but it should be pretty quick.

And lastly, next time I'll have a layout for our performance:

What to expect:
Ode to Oscar

1st Improv Jam (I cue what you play)

The Wheel Jam

Memory A + B Jam (we'll go over this)

Music Game

Fast Jam (fun, but faster) - see above

+ a few crazy ideas that we can try next time... if there's time (ie. trash can lids and drumset)
 
The homefun that we have before Thursday is as follows:
1) Finish memorizing the piece!

2) Get your Trash themed Outfits ready for the performance:
