Date: April 17, 2009

Primary Rehearsal Section: 

1. 1. 1. -B Alto Sax, Cornet, Horns, Baritone Play that note that is held very quietly but with a lot of intensity.

         - Everyone who has the long note one measure after B I want an accent that sounds like a forte piano, and then bring it down

      2. I -Parts that play stacatto eighth notes, and two and, very light and detached.

         -Low Brass and winds who have the melody should play the line with bounce but not too detached.

         -two measures before J, forte piano, cresc

         -eighth notes parts bring out your part more to help keep motion and build up to J

         -exeggerated the accents

      3. J -Oboe, 3^rd clarinet, Alto Sax, Cornets, Trumpets, Horns, 1^st and 2^nd Trombones, Baritone. Accent eighth notes to bring them out, it should sound as if the band is constantly playing eight notes.

         -People with half notes and quarter notes come back in volume a little bit so the other parts could be heard, play smoothly

      4. K -Parts with half and quarter notes play as if it is slurred even if it isn't marked, play smoothly.

         -Tuba, Bass Clarinet, play part so that it is round sounding and not short and punchy

         -Moving eighth notes, bring out part but don't play too loud because you are all playing in unison so it is going to be loud naturally. Bring out accents and really stress the slurs.

      5. L -Horns and Cornets, really accent the down beat, use the eighth note to bounce off of, turn the dotted quarter into a quarter with an eighth rest.

         -everyone except for trombone and baritones two measures before M, bring it down and build up to M

         -Trombones and Baritones play the part loud but not so loud that you can not build from it, and keep and clean tone there, don't splat.
