Phantom of the Opera, huh? That was a great play...and as for the band geek part....do you happen to have any sheet music available for what you play?

[slavetotheWALL]

I play the Euphonium I dunno what you play but if ya wanna transpose than very well I find a way

Phantom songs

1. The Phantom Of the Opera

2. Wishing you were somehow here again

3. Masquerade (I do not have the main melody)

4. music of the night (I do not have the main melody

remember this is marching music not sheet therefore it will sound different

[Princess_Koto]

i love all of those songs.....but i cant seem to choose...lets see....if i had to choose id either choose Music of the Night or Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again. have you seen the play? or movie?

[slavetotheWALL]

[Princess_Koto]

[slavetotheWALL]

You have my attention

[ChrisFox]

See, it's not a school band, as the majority of the band members are in their late 40s-early 50s and though we do practice in a school (an elementary school), we are in no way associated with it other than the fact that the current pipe major used to be the principal. But I'm excited 'cause September 6th is our first band practice of the season! Supposed to get a new pipe major, but somehow I think the old one will keep doing it. Great bunch of guys, lotsa fun and all that....creepy old men are funny. But yeah, we do parades, special occasions, all that good stuff.

And here's our website CoWPaD. We need to get some new tunes going, though. Unfortunately some of the guys still haven't got the old ones down yet.
