leaders:
perfnotes: stillness during solos (don't play over soloist); then through chorus move around chaotically faster & faster
structure: solo then everybody through chorus (3X each one faster); repeat

leaders:
perfnotes: Dynamics: 1 loud, 2 soft, 3 loud, 4 soft
structure: Drum Intro- hoofbeat:
3 measures (loud. soft. soft.)
3 beats and lead in

Three Parts:
1 is the trumpet bridge (one time through first two times
second time )
2 is "love is a burning thing"
3 is "I fell down"

current idea is to have trombones play first,
then all saxes (soprano and clarinet should play tenor sax part not trumpet), then maybe all together, and ending trades of the phrase "the ring of fire", finally on unison

structure:

leaders: Kirk
perfnotes: Swing left-then-right-then- left in time. vocals by Jennifer then Lynette. Jen put bullhorn higher when done, for Lynette
structure: intro / head, repeat alternating instr (4-bar melody splits) & vocals / signal "C" means to head last time (into coda/end after bar 6)

good bet:
bass, then plus vamp
"small solos" breaking up the melody into 3
vocal solo
all play melody
free solo
small solos
vocal solo
all play melody into coda

leaders: Noam
perfnotes: Play song at 140 bpm. Keep a good pace (don't drag), upbeat general tone
structure: As written; end on beat 4 of last measure

leaders:
perfnotes: Intro: after slow, conducted opening,
bass drum starts beating 1,2,3,4 (shown as X notes)
and melody starts playing after mentally hearing "4 and one"


leader then can do call/response for solos

ending is "triple tag", like last 4 bars or so 3 times.

leaders: Kirk
perfnotes: during 8th-notes prior to and after chorus, point body right/down during first 8 (softer) then left/up during second 8 (louder)
structure: be careful, 8th-note phrase is ONCE before chorus,TWICE after it

leaders:
perfnotes: First play the traditional birthday song, normal/slow speed... can end like normal OR hold the SECOND TO LAST note for for four beats, then:

Tuba leads into Beatles Birthday section A. Play section A as instruments, then with vocals, then a third/final time as instruments. Ending is triple-tag by tuba/bass (other voices silent).


structure:

leaders:
perfnotes: 2nd bar sunrise sing "Hut...Hut...Hey!" if not playing the melody
structure: This song has 2 melodies which I am arbitrarily calling sunrise and sunset

(and I am lumping in soprano / alto saxes with trumpet and tenor saxes with trombones and bari saxes with base)

1 - sunrise trombone
2 - sunrise trumpet
3 - sunset trumpet
4 - sunset trombone

For solos we go back to "sunrise", and the soloist can play off the melody call and response style. Ideally trumpets play call when it's a trombone solo and vice versa.

After solos, ending is pretty much everyone but basses play the first part of sunset and then "HEY!"


So arrangement has
High Parts:
C - Melodica
Bb - Trumpet (Clarinet, Soprano Sax)
Eb - Alto Sax

Mid Parts
C - Trombone
Bb - Tenor (Baritone TC)

Low Parts
C - Tuba
Eb - Bari Sax

How to Play it against Christmas Joy to the World in Eb:

Joy to the World (Christmas, then Jeremiah)
Play Christmas Version x 2 (not too slow)
Over last note, Leader Yells "1,2!"
and then bass/trombone do lead into measure 4
(i.e. skip measures of intro but do lead in, Eb E F)
and Singer starts in 1 "Jeremiah was a bull frog"
every one but bass sings 2 ("joy... to the world, all the boys and girls)
then everyone plays 1
then everyone sings 2, slowdown last joyyy to you aaaand meeeeeeeee

structure: (One example shown--leader can choose instr or vocal for each of sections I and II on the fly)

Section I: Vocal (if have vocal solist)
Section II: All Play
Section I: Saxes
Section II: All SING
Section I: Trumpets
Section II: All SING
Section II: " "
