I didn’t get to my rehearsal tonight as early as I normally do because I was finishing off doing an electric bass transposition of one of the pieces on the list for the concert we are rehearsing for (CSWO Coronation concert on 5 May at Thorpe Acre church). In the end, we didn’t play that one but I don’t think it was a waste of time. We did pull out several of the other pieces that I’ve previously transcribed and those were relatively easy to read compared to one item that was still in the original, tuba form. Fortunately, that was fairly easy to follow but it should have been trivial.

It will take years to get the whole pad done, or at least all the ones that are tuba rather than electric bass parts. Possibly, by the time I get there, I’ll be good enough to just play them all on tuba instead! I think it is worthwhile though and I hope to have all the tricky ones worked up in good time for the concert.
