Part Correction - for Clarinet 2 & 3, Alto Sax 1 & 2 and Tenor Sax

In "Cowboys" there is a mistake in the parts in Measures 17-19.

Measures 17 and 18 should be played as written in measures 18 & 19.  In the now vacated measure 17, play another whole note like you did in measure 16.

So now:

Measure 16 = Measure 16 (a whole note)
Measure 17 = whole note continued
Measure 18 = dotted half tied to 8th and two 16ths
Measure 19 = a bunch of 16ths
Measure 20 = Measure 20

Comment below if you have any questions.

Rehearsal 12/2/14

Hi All,
  Rehearsal Plan for Tuesday includes:

Folk Song Suite - Mvt 1
Landscapes
Incantation and Dance
Arabesque

Ken
Hi All,
  Several people have asked me what we will be rehearsing this week so that they can prepare.  Hence, this blog.  I'll use it to communicate with the members of the PWE to prepare for and review rehearsals.
  This is intended as a private Blog for PWE members only.  This should allow us to have some real time communication.  As other topics come up that would be useful or interesting to the band, we can include other discussion threads.

Ken

P.S.  I'm new to Blogger and will take all the help offered.
