Band warm-ups should not be short and felting. They have a lot to offer for any band. Speak to the interviewer on how you would set-up warm-ups to get the best out of your students.

"For a band warm-up, I love to do different scales. This gets students moving up and down octaves, so they can prepare for what is ahead in our rehearsal. In this way, I have seen students get warmed-up and ready to roll, being at their best throughout rehearsal."
