I have ordered the books for you and will have them available at our first rehearsal. Please bring $5 for your book to the rehearsal. Cash is preferred, but if needed you can make a check out to Jon Brummel. I’ve taken the liberty of preparing the files in SmartMusic so you can practice the parts ahead of time. By using them in SmartMusic you can practice the parts and have instantaneous feedback regarding your rhythm, pitch accuracy, and can practice your part in the context of an “ensemble”. I HIGHLY urge you to download and prepare with these files.
You will need to download, install, and activate SmartMusic for these files to work, then simply download these files and open them up in SmartMusic. I’ll be posting them over the course of the afternoon. Please use these for personal use only, and do not redistribute them. for commercial use.
The arrangements have been done by Mr. Forrest Buchtel, and come from Christmas Time, published by Neil A. KJOS Music Company. Be sure to right click on the file name, choose "Save As" and end the file name in ".smp" - this will ensure that SmartMusic will open up the file properly.
