Jimmyjuicin Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I would LOVE to enter this one! will someone be able to get a recording of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarSanchez Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 There is no guarantee there will be a recording, since IDK how I would do that.... I am performing and I dont have the equipment to record audio, and I doubt they will allow it..... So I can try, but no guarantees :).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magyari Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 - Marimba/Glock./ Xylo./Vib. (any 2 of these) --> You mean, we can use 2 in the same time, or we have to choose 2 of them? - Should we use all of these instruments? - Do you have a bass clarinet, or one of the clarinet players plays it? - Do you have 4 or 5 string-double bass? - Are you sure about this one-month deadline? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magyari Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 - Do you have only 1 triangle? - If I write something for woodblock too, can you get one? I have a lot of questions, sorry :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almacg Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yeah count me in! I have a question: To what extent can we take liberties with the Happy Birthday theme. I'd like to try my hand at writing a 'fantasy on a theme of...' if possible, as opposed to a straight arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
