looking for a score

Hi,
I direct a community concert band. I'm looking for a score for a piece that someone just donated to us. It is an arrangement of music from "Carousel" by Rodgers and Hammerstein done by Eric Leidzen. I'm not certain but, judging from the date and the arranger, it was probably a 3-line or similar condensed score. It seems to be permanently out-of-print and I'm drawing a blank from the usual sources. (Chatfield Brass Band, bandmusicpdf.org, IMSLP) Does anyone have this in their school or community band library and would be willing to make a .pdf copy? (or know where it might be available otherwise) We would be willing to pay for any expenses incurred. Thanks in advance for any info or help.
Pete

My hazy recollection is that I've played that piece. I'll check with my band librarian at rehearsal tonight.

Thanks, bighonkintuba. I've already emailed the gentleman from Bloke's suggestion but its nice to have another possibility in case that doesn't pan out.

I was so hoping for a bit more sarcastic response but I guess that'll do for now. I am glad you got the score ppalan!

Hi All,
I know I already posted a thank you to those who offered assistance in helping me find the requested score but I need to make one final post on this. I want say a big thanks again to
Bloke. He was the first to respond with info about who might be able to help. I immediately contacted Dr.Brian Harris at McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas in the interim I got a copy of the score from
"bighonkintuba" in Staten Island, NY. Well in this morning's mail I received another copy from Dr. Harris. (an embarrasment of riches??) This ability to ask for assistance from such a wide-ranging, knowledgeable community is one of the great things about Tubenet. Thanks to all and
a special thanks to Dr. Harris and the Waco Community Band.
Pete
ps. thanks to
Sean for creating this great resource.
