Part for Barnum & Bailey's Favorite

[Jedi Master]

Hey folks,

Anybody got a copy of the band tuba part for B&B F, that they can scan & send to me? I may be reading it tonight, and I just wanted to brush up on it.

Thanks!

A collection Fred Jewell marches wouldn't be bad, either.

No doubt. My first day working for RB-BB Circus World (anyone remember that place)in January of 1981 the Ringmaster announces "Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Welcome to Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus World" and the bandmaster, Chuck Kowalski, gives the downbeat to "Quality Plus" by Fred Jewell at WHOLE NOTE = 104. I think I finally got the opening 32 bars right by my second week there. Talk about a deer caught in the headlights.

Rodeo brass bands are just like that. Except you gotta remember what chord to hit, watch the conductor for the cue to PLAY that chord, and watch the bull rider or roper or barrel racer or whatever too...AND double tongue the I-V!

this is known as fun.

Quality Plus is great. I played it so much in high school it's the only march that I know beginging to end by heart.

how about Sousa marches? Like the stars and stripes? I enjoy this one espeacialy when you play the line after the intro useing 16th notes instead of quarter notes. It requires double oungeing witch is fun to me because it presents a challenge.

Absolutely. The cut off meant you played a Bb Major chord. During the 5 seconds you were playing that you had to change your music. Seems like nothing until you figure you have 17 guys blowing their collective brains out, a leader who is hoping nothing is going wrong on the floor, and you hoping that you have the show in order. Good times.

Well, it depends on what key you're in, in my experience, if it's a good ride it's the tonic of the piece, if failed it's something else. Injury means something else still.

Those were the days. Now, like RBB&B, it's all pop tripe.

At RBB&B it was ALWAYS a Bb chord. If something went awry, you had a head tune you had to play to alert the clowns, generally "12th Street Rag", if there was a major disaster it was the Trio to Stars and Stripes. Luckily I never had to play the latter. The oddest thing that ever happened was when Jewel Newell's lion Kenneth(the one he put his head in) wouldn't come off his perch and the band ended up play "Recuerda" about a million times until the lion got up and left through the tunnel. I guess he had had enough for one day. I have never played a Rodeo, so I can't comment on the protocol. Yes, those were the days.
