The set-up bag that includes painters tape (not masking tape), post-it notes, and set-up diagrams will be given to the section in charge of set-up each month. The section is responsible to find 3 people who are available to arrive by 7:15 p.m. each week for the assigned month. Three people are plenty to accomplish the set-up tasks.

Section assignments are:

February – Clarinets/Double Reeds
March – Flutes
April – Low Brass
May – Trumpets and Horns
June – Saxophones

Below are two diagrams that depict the setup of the rehearsal room. First is a diagram of the chairs and tables that must be moved and replaced. Second is a diagram of our usual setup of chairs for rehearsals and concerts.

If you have friends who always wanted to learn to play an instrument and be in a band, I am starting one in Turtle Creek, PA. This is a BEGINNER Band for Adults, with the guidance of New Horizons. I plan to start with “which end of the horn to put in your mouth” and whole notes. We will meet on Tuesday afternoons, 1:00PM in the Turtle Creek Municipal Building Community Room.

If you know someone please give them my phone number: 412-298-1486 and email: pollyg@juno.com.
This is a free band/music lessons so please encourage those who might be interested. They will need to have their own instrument and recommended lesson book – Accent on Achievement Book 1.

The Concert Setup Program is a rotation of section assignments intended to help spread these responsibilities out. When it is a particular section’s turn, the section leader is responsible for finding enough people to do the following tasks. Typically, this requires showing up at the concert site approximately one 1 hour ahead of time unless equipment must be transported (see 1 below), in which case a different timeframe may be called for.

1. Transporting Band equipment other than percussion to the concert
site. Equipment includes:

• conductor podium and stand
• music
• suitcases with extra shirts/ties, stand lights/batteries, music clips, etc.
• banner/sign and stand
• band floodlights (if needed)

Traditionally, the percussion section helps to transport this in their vehicles for percussion equipment. The equipment needs to be loaded on to vehicles at Trinity Christian before the concert, and unloaded at the concert site. Then, re-loading and unloading to put equipment back in storage at Trinity Christian after the concert.

People helping with this effort need to coordinate with the percussion section ahead of time, often at the previous rehearsal.

A PA system for the band is occasionally needed. In the past, Roger Schneider has brought this and set it up. This may change in the future and be included here.

2. Stage setup. This involves placing the chairs, conductor’s stand and podium, EWSB sign as appropriate, floodlights as needed, and any other miscellaneous needs for the particular stage.

3. Stage cleanup. Tearing down of chairs as necessary, as well as band equipment. (Hopefully, all band members will help with this at every concert.) Packing all band equipment in cases and into vehicles for transport back to school.

Setup rotational order:

• Trumpets
• Trombones
• Saxophones
• Lower Brass (horns, baritones, tubas)
• Flutes
• Clarinets
