Marching Band Music
What should you be doing?
- LEARN & MEMORIZE your warm-ups. Go ahead and get those knocked out. (Don't memorize the show music yet as things might still change.)
- PRACTICE your show part. Know your notes and rhythms BEFORE you get to band camp, so we can spend our time together on the fine details involved in making music. All bands can play their notes and rhythms, but the championship bands MAKE MUSIC - DETAILS WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS!
-SUBMIT yourself playing the warm-ups AND show music on SmartMusic by July 12th! This way, we know what's been prepared and what spots still need help.
These 3 things will be the difference between a good band and a great band!

OC DAYS Parade Music
Must be memorized by Thursday July 18th for a performance at the OC Days Parade on Saturday July 20th. Since we did this in band class in the spring, I left those of you who already know it on the parts you already know best I could and filled in the rest.
PRINT THIS and put a hard copy in your binder. Bring it to camp on Monday!
NOTE: START AT MEASURE 16 and play through measure 48. Winds - don't play the note in 48, just rest that measure. Then jump to 75 and play through 78 (the fermata will be 6 beats long.) Then jump to 83 and play to the end. WE WILL MARCH IT IN HALF TIME (like playing in cut-time.) Audio available here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/63ayhireqaqqmv9/5.%20Alexander%27s%20Ragtime%20Band.wav?dl=0
Parts:
Clarinet 1 - Gracelyn, JoJo, Katie (Greta on Tenor Sax)
Clarinet 2 - Allison, Jessica, Grace, Alex
(Jacob/Abby - you can both march mello or one of you can march trumpet. I just need at least 1 of you to learn the mello part)
Trumpet 1 - Ethan N, CJ
Trumpet 2 - Ethan B, Brady
Trumpet 3 - Connor, Tyler, Levi
Trombone 1 - David, Miles
Trombone 2 - Caden, Jake (we'll have enough baritones if you wouldn't mind learning the trombone 2 part)
(Jacob D - I need you to learn the tuba part)
Snare - Cameron, Graham, Justin, Adria
Tenors - Sam (probably 1 more)
Basses - Caroline, Oliver, Thalia, Henry (possibly 1 more)
Cymbals - Wyatt, Davis
Other Percussionists - we'll use 2 or 3 of you to carry the banner, and then the rest can help me pass out beads to the crowd!
