Feb 25th Chapel Plan

Good practice everyone!  To reiterate what Mr. D and Mr. S were saying, it would be super to be set up and ready to practice (with everyone present) at 3:30.  I don't feel comfortable chasing people around the school reminding them about practice now with the new security measures in place, so I have to rely on all of you to be responsible high school seniors.  :-)

As discussed in practice, our set for Wednesday will be:

  • Undignified     Key of D.  CZ on drums - keep tempo up and very simple drum roles only on transitions!   Keys, use the Zepix organ sound.  Singers - CLAP, MOVE, SHOUT, and SMILE  :-)
    • Start with instruments doing verse chords
    • 1st verse - keep it very simple.  No snare on drums - just high hat and bass drum.
    • Back to intro for 2 bars
    • 2nd verse with more guitars.  Add the snare.  Build into chorus
    • Na na na... HEY!
    • 3rd verse again
    • Chorus 2x
    • Na na na... Hey!     End.
  • You Are Good      Key of G   CZ on drums - again, keep your tempo up and very simple drum roles only on transitions.  Singers - CLAP, MOVE and SMILE  :-)
