The Carpenters For Concert Band

nackteziege's Photo nackteziege 25 Sep 2006

So, I was helping our drum major find a score today, and I found The Carpenters! It's a medley with an intro [that doesn't appear to be an actual song], We've Only Just Begun, Rainy Days and Mondays, and Close to You. I assume it was written and performed at my school in the 70s, considering all of those are from 71 or prior.


I want to play it so freaking badly. I copied the flute part and I'm going to play it at home on my own [duh] but it'd be so cool if we played it as a band. My band director would probably laugh at me if I asked her though. Haha.


So I just had to share my excitement. smile.gif

You didn't know I was Jazza? laugh.gif

So the flute part is weird, especially for Rainy Days and Mondays. I should try to get the picc part sometime, but I didn't want go copy it today because I thought it was the same. I think it might have a feature on Close to You. I want a solo flute Carpenters medley, but I'm too lazy to do one myself. Lol.

Maybe that's why it's weird. I think it's hard too! Lol. They don't sound right.
