Re: Missing Part

> Also, can anybody suggest any methods to stop the kids losing their parts?

Staples are good!!  :-)

For junior bands that I've been involved with (not to say that senior bands
don't lose parts - but not quite so often), we've worked on the idea that
there is no sin (and probably no illegality either) in working off
photocopies while the originals sit in a locked cupboard in the bandroom.

These tended to be school-based bands, so the copyright laws are a bit
different.

Have a talk to your local Library.  They're always up-to-date on copyright
issues and could help you check on the legality of doing this, but I can't
imagine any copyright owner / publisher being concerned if you're scrupulous
about only using photocopies of charts that are actually in your possession.

Photocopying's a bit tedious, but so is looking for charts for 20 pieces
when a whole folder is lost.

Your missing charts will turn up - almost certainly filed with a different
title - but not until a week after you get a replacement!  Kids are good,
but it's difficult to lose ALL the solo cornet parts.

PS - sorry, can't help you with the particular chart.  It's not in our
library.
