How much emphasis do you place on solo & ensemble? The more they play the better a large emphasis is placed on s&e. Give the solos out early

[ATSSB @ATSSB]

@bobmcclure childhood hymn, maesong, prelude and march, 2 English dances, little Brazil suite,

[ATSSB @ATSSB]

How long do you work on your #UIL music? 6-8 seems to be the norm. More than that it exposes issues with program

[ATSSB @ATSSB]

Some great options for listening to music are the Stanton listening library, Pepper and Penders music websites. Check those out

[ATSSB @ATSSB]

@maestrogdub some of the Owens, Edmondson, mcginity are all non traditional and very playable.

[ATSSB @ATSSB]

What's your opinion on a non traditional march? Go for the march that best teaches your kids

[ATSSB @ATSSB]

Feature those stronger sections in the community because it will challenge them

[ATSSB @ATSSB]

What if my brass are at a much different level than other sections? Try finding music at an appropriate level for the weakest section

[ATSSB @ATSSB]

What about the warmup on stage? Make sure that it's solid if you're going to play it on stage

[ATSSB @ATSSB]

What is your opinion of the concert march is your warmup piece at #UIL? It's a misconception that it's a warmup. It's adjudicated.
