Warm Up
(1) Oroshi

-- Oroshi gets quieter
(3) 4-8-16 + first 2 hits of 4 + oroshi + 4-ish

M1-4 x2

Ending = (4321) grouped / 4321 together / Oroshi (Anne calls "sore") / 4-ish ka

Things to Remember
-- Grouped and together M1-4 are medium level noise
-- 8-strikes is a crescendo (gradually increases in loudness). Last 3 hits are the loudest ("some-thing cool's ab-out to ha-ppen" gradual increase)
-- To play quieter (ie: oroshi) keep bachies in line with forearm; like in ready stance.
-- Make sure left hits (ie: during M4) are equally loud as the right hits.
-- Last hit in 4-ish is as loud as it can be. Therefore, make sure to extend your arm straight out in preparation for the hit.
-- Add in confident kiyai when you can. It can help keep players in sync.
-- Solos are 4 Ji-patterns long. Maybe add a "sore" at the end of every 4th Ji-pattern to cue the next soloist. It can also be an insurance to keep everyone on track/re-sync.

Homework: 

Practice PEAC Arrangement. Be prepared and confident to play the whole thing without looking at the board.
