CAS Stages complete questions below:
1) Investigation - what are your goals for this CAS experience?
To help out Lucaya International School with the musical aspect of the schools
production of The Sound of Music by being the percussionist and drummer.
To learn more drum rhythms and rudiments, and improve upon those that I
already know, specifically the waltz and traditional march rhythm for this
production.

2) Preparation briefly identify your plan of action and include an approximate

timeline.
I will attend every music practice, dress rehearsal, and technical rehearsal that is
held throughout the period of January 14 January 29 in order to prepare myself
and become familiar with the music.

3) Action - how will you accomplish your goals? Who will be involved?
I will familiarize myself with the music of this production by listening to the CD,
and watching online live performances of the play.
I will practice regularly with the other members of the band.
I will study the sheet music, learning all of the necessary breaks, rudiments, and
fills which will need to be inserted into specific places throughout the musical in
order to add depth, and make everything sound full and cohesive.
I will research and learn different fills for the rhythms that are needed in order to
add more character to the songs.

4) Reflection - what were your expectations? What did you hope to gain from this
experience? What did you learn? What are your next steps? How are the Learner
Profile attributes incorporated?
I am a drummer, and I have been musically involved in many plays at the Regency
Theater, so I know what is expected of myself and everyone else in the band in
order to ensure that the music of the play is the perfect compliment to what is
occurring on the stage. With that being said, I hope to become an even more
confident drummer and percussionist through my involvement in this production, as
there is always room for improvement; especially when I have not been playing the
drums as often as I should. It is going to be difficult to work in practices into my
schedule due to the massive amount of work that I have on a weekly basis, however
I will try my best to continue to practice in the coming weeks leading up to the
performance of the production, and hopefully, I will have all of the music memorized
by the time the actual date of the performance arrives.
This experience encompasses the following Learner Profiles:
Communicators Music is a language that can be communicated, hence the
music of this show.
Knowledgeable Having knowledge in the areas of drumming and
percussion allowed me to have that role in this production.
Inquirers Having to research the rhythms and new rudiments.

5) Demonstration what evidence will you use to show you have completed your
goals?
I will provide photo evidence.
