The show music has been posted to the band website. There is also an MP3 player for you to listen to the show music. You will see it on the upper right. Sheet music is directly below where it says "Documents and Downloads." Each part is now available to view and practice. If you are wondering which part to practice, (example: trumpet 1 or 2) look over each and work on the part you played last year.
****PRACTICE TIPS****
1. USE A METRONOME!!!!!!!
If you do not own one, go to google and type in "online metronome" and you can find one online for free. When working on sections, slow the tempo down. Once you can play it five straight times without error, speed it up a couple of clicks.
2. Don't get bogged down in one measure you are having trouble with. Go over the entire piece first, that way you can figure out which sections you will need to woodshed. When you played in Concert Assessments you had a sightreading section of the performance. Think of how you looked at the music. You looked over everything and played it straight through without stopping. Follow this example when practicing on your own.
3. Listen to the music and follow along with the written part.
