Rock Band Tryouts - Here's what you do

If you are auditioning for Rock Band this week, this is what you have to do. Remember that it doesn't have to be perfect, I'm just looking for how quickly you can learn something. I might be showing you how to do it during the audition.

As a note, keep in mind that each of the two bands have 12-15 students that want to join but I only have room for 8 to 9 students in each band. Preference will be given to grade 5 and 6 students as they only have one to two years left to play with the band whereas the grade 4's have 3 more years at Bloomfield. If you don't get into the band this year then you will be in the band next year!

Vocals: Song of your choice. Must have a youtube "karaoke" version to use for singing.

Drums: Basic rock beat using the bass drum, snare drum and hihat. Music is here. x is hihat, lowest note is kick drum, middle note is snare.

Guitar: Play (strum) through these basic chords. You only have to use the three skinniest strings to play.

Piano: Same chords as the guitar. You'll also need to show me a C Major scale and one other scale of your choice.
