Directions
In this project we will be making a VIRTUAL BAND through the magic of the internet! Mr Liska recently participated in a Virtual Band, which you can see right here (he's in the bottom left!) - https://youtu.be/HYVwcyuEG0c
To make this work, each member of the band will create a short video of them playing Wave the Flag along with a backing track, upload the video to YouTube, and submit that video on the form below. You MUST play along with the backing track in order for our videos to line up, and you MUST have the backing track on headphones so we only hear your sound. This means you will probably need two devices for this project - one to record with and one to play the backing track. If you do not have two devices in your home, contact Mr Damore for help.

Steps:
- Practice Wave the Flag. The way you originally memorized it may not be correct, check the music!
- Record your video. Make sure you have the backing track on headphones! Don't forget the horn move at the beginning and the "T-O-M-C-A-T-S, GOOO TOMCATS!" at the end!
- Submit your video to the form below.
Tips:
- PERCUSSION - You may have to get a little creative with your instrument choice! Maybe you don't own a set of marching tenors, what do you have around your house that you could play instead? No cymbals? Try making some! (This is supposed to be fun!)
- Make sure your instrument and device are positioned in such a way as to create the best sound. You don't want your bell right next to the microphone.
- We are going to create a collage of the videos for social media. If you would like to be included in the video collage, make sure we can see your face and instrument and that you are wearing East Aurora gear.
- "Mideo" is an app that allows you to play an audio file while recording so that the project could be done on just one device. I haven't used this app, but try it out if you want to!
