Click to expand... Chad, not sure why but usually the music can be downloaded for free. They also give a sample of some of the marching drill. However, this is not the case at this point in time. Perhaps check it again in a month or so when most hs bands are in band camp. You are correct "Reflections" is under Grade 5 which is the most difficult music and drill alike. Have you listened to the Robin Hood soundtrack? Talking about an awesome opener. Cheers, Phil

M Mort Corey Senior Audioholic Apr 21, 2004 608 0 0 Temecula, CA Jul 9, 2008 #47 Started taking classical piano lessons at age five and continued until age eighteen. Then took four years of organ lessons (totally different instrument btw). The pipe organ is my favorite instrument of all.....master of the universe kind of thing. Played clubs (dives) but just couldn't deal with playing for people that didn't care to listen. Studio work paid well but the jobs were too far between to make enough money to eat. For me, it took/takes a minimum of a couple hours a day just to stay sharp....more to improve....so that didn't leave enough time to earn a living. Became a motorcycle mechanic at twenty-five having never turned a wrench before in my life.....did quite well for quite a few years....go figure. Mort Reactions: speakerman39

Hi Mort and thanks for sharing. This is rather interesting. Maybe being a mechanic is not your life-long dream, but it is a way to make a living. Now, you may be able to continue to chip away on the music thing. Who knows, it just may pay off big time. Only one way to find out eh? Cheers, Phil

I think it was the detail oriented nature that music instilled that allowed me to be successful in the endeavor. After fifteen years, however, it was time to move on to something a little more lucrative. As a present business owner, the bookkeeping aspect follows along the same lines of detail orientation......those little dots called decimal points can make a BIG difference Mort Reactions: speakerman39

My local HS band performed this (2) years ago with great success. Of course, I am an alumni where at one time marched Baritone. Really liked being part of the low brass section. Just curious is all if you liked the music. Cheers, Phil
