Proposed Repertoire (instrumental, initial)

These are just from going through one website and picking out the songs that sound good/OK in multi-instrument transcriptions/arrangements... by no means final, can definitely have a lot of other stuff if you want~ plus have already had requests for some stuff that's piano-only o_O! Also, note that I didn't include vocal stuff here for the most part, there's lots of that around too.

All instrumentation is from the arrangements found at Ichigo's Sheet Music. Other music can be found at sites listed here, haven't had time to trawl through them yet.

Other options would include classical music used in shows, since the sheet music is easy to source... things like Pachelbel's Canon and Bach's Air in G (both End of Evangelion, apparently).

We still need: more strings, brass, oboe, percussion, harp, banjo (o_O!). Full list below, but anyone else who wants to get involved can... we can't have one person playing viola and tuba at the same time, it's quite difficult...

Administrative Issues

When will we run rehearsals? Over summer - more time. Weekly? More/less often? During term/semester - study, work. Weekends or after class?

Where can we rehearse? Does someone have a house that will fit all of us + instruments and is easy to get to? Otherwise - eg. rent a room at a studio or university. Need money for this. Could we affiliate with one of the university clubs (eg. 3WA) and book through the club as a club room?

Who gets which part where more than one person plays an instrument? Auditions/last exam for level? Parts weighted to the higher levels but the easier pieces can go to the lower levels, so everyone gets a go.

Where do we get money from? Money required for printing parts + possibly for rehearsal space...
