More MP3's of Classic Beacher Songs

Guys,

We're in the final stretch and now face the challenge of finishing up learnings on the legendary Beachers traditional arrangements. I've uploaded MP3 files of the entire Beachers CD. Please point your browser to the following folder and download like a madman.

You can browse the list of songs and download what you need, or even listen right from the list.

Missing Music? Download the PDF of the Nova Songbook

Guys,

Some of you have been without your songbooks at rehearsals. That doesn't work. So, here's a PDF of the entire Nova Songbook. Download it, printout what you need, bring it to rehearsal.

I don't have the Traditional Songbook digitized yet... perhaps for next year.

Regards, Mike C.

Zombie Jam

Okay, time for the reality check on the Zombie Jam.

We've got a ton of music... much of it is just run-throughs, minor spackling, and "performance powering"... but there're some that are on the low end of readiness. This entire list will not be in the concert, but most of it will, that means that May is the month for buckling down.

Totally New
  • Concrete & Clay (0.9)
  • Life's Gonna Suck (0.7)
  • Rhythm/Flintstones (0.8)
  • Love Potion #9 (0.9)
  • You Can't Do That (0.9)
  • Can't Take That Away (0.7)
  • Title of the Song (0.7)
Truly Great Traditional
  • Is That the Way U Look? (0.8)
  • Helmet (0.7)
  • Hodja (0.9)
  • Time After Time (0.4)
  • And So It Goes (0.9)
  • Romeo & Juliet (0.7)
  • Starfish & Coffee (0.9)
  • Lonesome Road (0.8)
Truly Great Traditional - Also Learn, some are in the concert with alums
  • Shenendoah (0.6)
  • Drifters Medley (0.3)
  • Chariot (0.3)
  • Evaline (0.5)
  • Bible / Dixie (0.8)
We've been kicking this year... let's crunch through May and be stellar on June 9th. More details to come.

All the rehearsals are critical now.
