FYI this is Tweedledum, NOT Tweedledee. I'm 3rd chair trombone in the BMS Jazz Band and we know a total of three songs, 1 of which is a Christmas song. Our school concert is coming up and we are learning 'Stray Cat Strut'. Our band director decided we would learn 4 measures on Wednesday. We did learn 4 measures. It was the last four measures, too. I know the first 16 measures, add that to the four we learned in class, and that means I know 20 measures out of a 54 measure song! That really is an accomplishment for me. Most people wouldn't agree with me on that mainly because the first 16 measures in my part are rests, but for me, It really is an accomplishment!
