Prologue

perfnotes: drums start, then tuba and bones.

section A 1st time unison 2nd time harmony parts (alto 2 and trumpet 2). Solos over A section. Last solo should be quietish (bass and drum?). band comes in unison 1st time, harmony on repeat, and maybe play up an octave if range allows.

B repeats as needed, getting quieter with each repeat. Last chord very soft, low brass and saxes only, held until cutoff.

Miserlou

perfnotes: 2nd bar sunrise sing "Hut...Hut...Hey!" if not playing the melody
structure: As written:
Intro-1-2-3-4-1mod-2mod-5

Intro: 4-bar ~vamp

1mod = Section 1 modified: high soloist featured 'response'; to 'call' of main low-brass voices SOFTER with shortened phrase-ending notes

2mod = Section 2 modified: low soloist featured 'response'; to 'call' of main high-brass voices SOFTER with shortened phrase-ending notes

Old descriptions:

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

Give Me One Reason

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

all play melody into coda

perfnotes: During vamp lean left-then- right-then-left in time
structure: Leigh starts on Cowbell alone...

Ending (as written, on old sheet):
Section "3" repeats twice like always, followed by just drums continuing, then the chromatic run to end, and finally high instruments drop and bones/low voices hit low sustained note.

Space Cadodyssey

perfnotes:
structure: This song is Also Sprach Zarathustra plus "Space Cadet" (our version of the melody from Moon Patrol as played on the Atari 2600)


Start with 2001, last note held for 4 than a fall, than tuba/bass starts with Space Cadet bass... then main melody, then solos, then main melody again

Uptown Funk (ala SOH)

perfnotes: trombones just play whole notes and n part E
structure:
3 Tim 3 / 0
Take On Me

perfnotes: * All woodwinds are doubled so clarinets (and soprano sax) play tenor sax part (not trumpet)
* The Dynamics in this one can be really SWELL (get it?)
* Part C Bar 9, 10, 11 has a critical drum part on beat *3* (LMB entertainingly had this as a virbaslap) - if you listen to the original ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914 ) @ 1:05 you can hear it - the original doesn't overemphasize it but it can be really set a cool sounding pace

relative to LMB - I shared that B part that was Flute + Clarinet to Sax, put the trumpets + trombones back in for a backing part at D, and pretty much got rid of all of their part E (which was mostly duplicating themes done earlier in the song). but we are shamelessly stealing their novelty ending
structure: A intro meoldy
B lyric melody
C take-on-me chorus
D bridge
repeat A B C then jump to
E - solo x 4, then every one sings it one more time
3 Kirk... 3 / 0
Seven Nation Army

perfnotes: during 8th-notes prior to and after chorus, point body right/down during first 8 (softer) then left/up during second 8 (louder)

Just a Closer Walk (Gospel Medley)

perfnotes:
structure: Start: 2-3-4-1
Drums: shuffle

At end of each of the four main phrases, instead of long sustained note as written, cut that note off short (and freeze, see choreo below); drums get especially loud and splashy for the bar or two in the gap.

(In the gap after the third phrase be sure to let the tuba/bass voices do their descending line of notes alone)

Ending: All horns hold final note long (contrasting all other times)-- count it through, only slight decelerando, tuba descending notes to end.

Ring of Fire

perfnotes: Dynamics: 1 loud, 2 soft, 3 loud, 4 soft
structure: Drum Intro (not on chart)- hoofbeat:

3 measures (loud. soft. soft.) to stop

then 3 beats silent, horns lead in to section 1

Three Parts:
1 is the trumpet bridge (one time through first two times
second time ) - louder

2 is "love is a burning thing" - softer

3 is "I fell down" - louder

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

perfnotes: Intro: after slow, conducted opening,
