Hi All,
  This Tuesday we will do sectionals.  This will be a unique opportunity to work out some of this music as a section.  Below is a link to a spreadsheet with some of my suggestions of spots that need to be worked on.  In addition to the spots you  feel need sectional work, please include the notes and specific parts from this sheet.

I would suggest the following groupings:
Flutes
Oboes
Clarinets
Saxophones
Trumpets
Horns
Low Winds - Bassoons, Bass Cl., Bari Sax, Trombone, Baritone Horns, Tuba
Percussion
