Alpo Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) SEEMS to me there needed to be more members to that there band. Got two basoons and a bass clarinet, and only have two flutes?

Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Stars and Stripes always gets to me. Upsets the wife,though. She always has trouble with the picc part in the Grandioso. I've only heard her attempt it once in45+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
