Hello Elginencunians,
3 rehearsals to go! Think about what you’d like to play for our 2nd and 3rd piece for the show. (not necessarily in that order)
Windjammer is coming along well and really shows a great product of our effort.
Following this, we can do:
-How Does a Moment Last Forever
-Trolls (we can also do half of trolls and tag it after another piece if time permits; Moment and Louie are fairly short)
-Louie, Louie
-Beatles
-Invicta
Windjammer add-ins for Alto and Tenor Saxophone
Altos: Instead of the eighth rest, write: 104: E, 108: E, 112: D (all in the staff, upper notes)
Tenors: Instead of the eighth rest, write: 104: A, 108: A, 112: G (all above the staff)
Euph/Horn: leave as is, otherwise it goes high.
Band notes are posted on the website at: https://ottawanewhorizons.com/for-members/band-notes/
