Google Day 3 (10/23)

This was our third Google day. I spent the class going over some piano music I'd found for my piece, and trying to figure out which instrument to give which part. For example, I gave the bass line to the tuba/trombone/baritone, and I gave the underlying harmony to the saxophones and clarinets. I saved the melody, of course, for the trumpets.

I also listened to the recording while going over the piano music, to make sure they matched up, which they did. As far as my previous attempt went at guessing the rhythm by ear, I was closer than I expected (see Google Day 2). I've also made the specific marks of which measures I want to arrange, starting with the final lyric of the verse, "...born to run," which is quite fitting for a football band song.
