Marching Band
Download your part for the National Anthem and the music that you will perform with The Cavaliers!
Download the part that you feel is most appropriate to your playing abilities.
If you're not sure, download a couple of parts and practice each one to see which part fits better in your particular playing range.
If you are not comfortable playing high in your range, then you should NOT take a first part, but rather should take a second or third part.
Your music must be learned and memorized prior to arrival at the Symposium.
