7th and 8th Grade - Your Chair Test - What You Will Play

Middle School Band:

Here are the excerpts (parts) you will play for your chair tryout. Your tryout is THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8TH (I am giving everyone an extra day, due to the snow days we just had). You will play for me and Carter, and the tests will be during class (in front of the class).
