Oh Susanna
Helpful Hints:
-This song starts on a "pick-up". I count to three, then you come in on beat four.
-Words:
"Oh it rained all night the day I left. The weather it was dry. The sun so hot I froze to death. Susanna don't you cry"

Hey-Ho
Helpful Hints:
-Everyone else starts the song with the first two notes descending (going down). Trombones and baritones do the opposite! Your notes should go higher.

Frere Jacques

-This song is "auto-practice". Each section repeats.
-Only play as fast as you can play the beginning of the second line.

When the Saints Go Marching
Helpful Hints:
-Not everyone plays the same part at the same time. Listen to play-along to hear how your part fits in with the rest of the band.
-Remember, a whole note (looks like an empty circle) gets four beats of sound.
-A quarter rest (looks like a lightening bolt), gets one beat of silence.
