Years ago, I was in a VERY good band and the librarian passed out the parts to La Gazza Ladra. As principal horn, I dutifully dispatched all my afterbeats in great anticipation of that little finger-fumbling solo (though now it was going to be in in Eb, down a half-step) that was coming up at any

A simple question, Band or Orchestra?The parts for each are different. The orchestra part doesn't have as many afterbeats. I have played this son of gun in a lot of different venues. I think the worst was at a Holiday Ice show, where the orchestra was placed on one end of the ice rink. We

For me the piece I dislike the most is Stars and Stripes Forever. Not only have I played it several thousand times, but most conductors don't know how to do it correctly. They should listen to the Sousa Band's recording. I have the original 78 rpm disk, but I know it's been re-issued on CD

I don't think Sleigh Ride is a bad piece at all and I quite like it. It is a well-crafted little gem as are so many of Leroy Anderson's pieces. I also think his Christmas Festival or whatever it's called is the best all-round Christmas medley I've ever heard. However, I can certainly see
