Band E-Learning

Edgenuity Login

Weekly Playing Assignments

Beginning the week of April 27, band students will no longer be working on projects and will instead be completing weekly playing assignments. This is in addition to Edgenuity.

Find the correct week and correct band below, then find the page for your instrument. This is music that you should practice all week and turn in on Thursday or Friday by 1:30 pm. YOU SHOULD NOT submit your recording on Monday. This is music that you should make as perfect as you can before submitting it.

Once you have your recording the way you would like it, you will submit it though the “Playing Assessment Submission Form” below.

YOU WILL NOT BE UPLOADING YOUR RECORDING TO YOUTUBE, YOU WILL SIMPLY BE UPLOADING THE FILE DIRECTLY TO THE FORM. YOU MAY UPLOAD AN AUDIO RECORDING OR A VIDEO RECORDING, IT'S UP TO YOU.

Week of May 11 - Due Friday, May 15
