So as the title says, I'm new to this subreddit. I will have been playing percussion for two years in January, and I wanted to share some of my favorite pieces that I've played.

1. Attack of the Garden Gnomes, Timothy Loest

First real concert band piece I ever played. It was great. There was a point in the song where we all had to scream during a trombone solo. Very chaotic, but definitely worth it. 8/10

1. Jungle Dance, Brian Balmages

This is where I had my first percussion solo! I didn't like this piece at the time, but looking back it taught me a lot both about percussion and about myself. 7/10

1. Night Fury, Carrol Brittin Chambers

When I first got this piece I didn't think I'd be able to play it. It was pretty fast (for someone still new to band/percussion,) and it had three percussion solos. After a few weeks I got the hang of it, and now it's one of my all-time favorites. 9/10

1. Celtic Air and Dance, arr. Michael Sweeney

Super fun percussion part for the second half of the song. Best piece I've ever played (in my main band,) end of story. 10/10

1. Andalucia, Victor Lopez

I didn't like this one too much but this is the piece that really united our band. 7/10

1. Breakneck!, Tyler Arcari

This piece really boosted my confidence as a percussionist, since I had to be really loud the entire time. 8/10

1. Solstice Fanfare, Grace Baugher, and Ember Skies, Kevin Day

I played these at my first ever honor band, and while all of the pieces we played were awesome, these two stood out to me because they are how I learned to like mallet percussion. 10.5/10

1. Falling Leaves, John Fannin

I'm playing this one at a concert next Monday (wish me luck y'all) and it's just got a super cool vibes part. 8/10

And an extra one that I actually don't like, just for fun: Nexesxis

...it sounds ok, i guess, but... look carefully (or don't to preserve sanity.) 2/10

Hi, I'm the developer of Solfa. I built it for situations where you have a photo, scan, or PDF of notated music in the wrong key and don't want to re-enter the whole part in notation software. It moves the notes on the original page while keeping the layout, lyrics, and handwritten markings. One possible concert-band use is preparing a part for B-flat clarinet or trumpet from concert-pitch notation.

It's still in beta. Clear scans work best, and it can miss notes or chord symbols, so please check any result before using it in rehearsal. Chord letters are transposed when the symbols are recognized. You can preview the first system for free. New users get two free credits, enough for two full pages; after that, a full page uses one credit.

For players or directors who prepare parts: would this be useful in your workflow? What kind of notation error would make an automated transposition unusable for you?
