So I did an arrangement of the song "Hair" from the 1967 Musical "Hair" for concert band.

I think it's pretty decent, let me know what you think.

I realize now that I have put this under the wrong forum, but it wont let me delete this (or I'm just dumb and can't figure out how to), so it is here to stay.

This is a great arrangement. I wasn’t familiar with this piece so I listened to the original version and then yours. At 0:38 (piano solo?) it’s a great little riff from the piano but if the size of the ensemble is indeed for a concert band, I think it would be best if multiple parts played it; maybe give this riff to some flutes/upper clarinets so that the part can be heard otherwise it might barely noticeable to the ear when a real ensemble performs it. Software recordings vs a “live” band setting are two total different things. But overall, it is a pretty good arrangement for a concert band.

For transcribing lyrics to actual music instruments, to me, it’s a bit tough since vocals can do things instruments can’t do and vis versa. Your approach to it is pretty good by the way.

I also don’t know how to delete posts on here too, so you’re ok.
