Customized wind instrumentation is also available for an additional fee (typically between $250-$500). This feature is useful for bands who may have limited members in certain sections and an abundance in others. For example, a group may only have 5 Trumpets and need 1 part while they have 16 Alto Saxes and need the melody covered there most of the time. With customized wind instrumentation, these things can be altered to account for the purchasing ensembles specific balance requirements.
Within the purchase cost of any show, the freedom to edit, change and "water" parts as needed is expected and welcome (there is no additional permission to arrange fee).
"As Is" percussion instrumentation varies from show to show. Typically, parts come with a 4 AND 5 bass drum version. Sample scores for each show are available upon request. Like with the winds, within the purchase cost of any show, the freedom to edit, change and "water" parts is expected and welcome.
Customized percussion instrumentation is also available for an additional fee (typically between $250 and $500). Like above, this option is great as it makes the show seem like it was written specifically for the purchasing ensemble.
