Greetings,

The band I'm in is made up of people with wide variation in abilities.
What's worse many don't have (or don't make) time for studying the basics -
articulation, scales, duplets/triplets, etc. As a result, we have some
sloppy entrances, different articulations, and not very tight performances
overall. Are there any books available similar to beginner band books that
include exercises and etudes but for more advanced players? What do other
bands do to increase the overall level of technical ability/intonation in
the group?

(to give you an idea of where we're at technically we put on a pretty
credible performance of Cyril Jenkins' Coriolanus last week and did
Vinter's Triumphant Rhapsody in the spring)

Thanks for the help,

Bob Sadler
BBb Bass, Saskatoon Brass Band
