good afternoon everyone!

i really enjoyed today!  everything went very good

3rd period please check out brazil section.  i put up a2 videos – 1 of the new break and another of some nice caixa playing.  i forgot one video over 3 years ago with my friend when i lived in boulder, co.  i know it is hard to believe – but i did have a friend once…3 years ago.

4th period test will now be the week we get back from spring break.  i forgot to talk about the overtone series.  there will be a few questions about that.

6th period you can still sing on the concert if you want to.  you have to be sure to come to both afterschool rehearsals on April 9th and 10th

8th period thanks for hanging in there.  here are 2 documents if you have not already done them.  they are due thursday.

they are from jazz in america.org.  it is an extremely informative website.  and something we are going to hit full steam for 4th quarter.

i will leave you with this awesome video clip.
