Below is a road map for each of the pieces we’re playing on our next two programs. Please make sure your music markings match what I’ve written, so we don’t waste rehearsal time debating and hashing it out. Notice the changes in the Marches of the Armed Forces. We are reverting back to the original version. I have removed the inserted drum-breaks and removed the Semper Supra. I apologize for any weird spacing below. When I copied this from Google Docs and pasted it here some things shifted.
