4th Period Orchestra:
Have Them get into small groups and work on Pepperoni Pizzacato and Impulse. They should try adding bows to different sections of Pepperoni Pizzicato to share with me when I return.

In small mixed instrument groups, have them run our MPA pieces (Casa, Rig, and Medieval) and then our Spring pieces (In Memory, Expedition, and High Flying)
6th and 7th Period Period Choir:
Have them take out a piece of paper and pencil.
Tell them to fold it in half. On one side label it, "Things I think went well" and on the other, "Things I don't think went well and why". Now watch the following video with them. On the back of their page they should write the answers to the following questions:
1. Which pieces was your favorite and why?
2. Which piece piece felt the strongest and why?
3. Was there a unified message in these songs?
