A note on our arrangements:

We have arrangements of each of the tunes we play usually for 2 or 3 parts. Because attendance can vary, many of us learn all of the parts to a song. Therefore we've included each part in every key below. Thus, for example, while trumpets would only play "Bb melody", an Alto Sax could play either "Eb melody" or "Eb harmony" and a trombone either "C bass", "C harmony bass clef" or "C melody bass clef".

Keys of instruments in the BLO:

  • Bb= Trumpet, Clarinet, Cornet, Baritone Horn, Tenor Sax, Soprano Sax
  • Eb= Alto Sax, Baritone Sax
  • C= Flute, Accordion, Trombone, Sousaphone, Tuba

Note: Baritone Sax, while usually playing the bass part, reads in treble clef (sounding one octave plus one major sixth lower than written.) Melody and harmony parts are in treble clef, and bass parts in bass clef unless otherwise noted.
