Marching Band Tip
Listen and Tune

Electronic tuners are a good way to get your horn in tune on one or two reference notes, but you can't stop there. Even on the finest professional horns, intonation will vary from note to note. The only way to play in tune consistently is to listen and adjust as you play. Developing this skill will improve your overall musicianship, whether you're playing a solo in a scholarship audition or performing with 300 others as a Marching Southerner!

Hello Everyone!

Here is an MP3 of the opener that we will be reading through at the reading band.  We will have music available for you to pick up next week.  It will be in the shelves outside my office.   (Please pick up your music and look over it before we meet). We are also hoping to have the closer completed before the reading band as well!  Great job Justin! =D>

(For those of you scratching your head from the intro...that is all backfield....remember "From Russia With Love" is a James Bond movie..... :wink: )
