Disney Film Favorites
i. Disney Film Favorites is a musical piece that Band has been rehearsing during concert season. We are asked to learn the music, hash out the difficult parts, and play with musicality. First, I sight read the piece. Then, I picked sections of the music that were difficult and played them over and over again. Next, I played the whole piece from beginning to end repetitiously.
ii. This assignment is significant because we will be presenting this piece at our concert, Some Enchanted Evening, and at graduation. The fact that we will be playing this piece in front of an audience made this assignment meaningful.
iii. This assignment challenged my patience and determination. It may become discouraging when I can not play a certain part, but after hours and days of practice, it is no longer a challenge. I now know that playing a piece with musicality takes time. It takes numerous hours of practice and persistence.

Camarillo Christmas Parade

Next, we practice the music with our marching. Then, we present it to the judges. Lastly, we perform for the public.
ii. This assignment was significant because we are providing service through music. This parade is meaningful because we are able to showcase our abilities and talent that we spend weeks preparing for.
iii. This assignment taught me that music takes academic skills. I now know that music is a combination of artistic and cognitive expressions.
