Normally, we play songs number 1 to 20, in order, leaving out # 2,12,and 18. Players unfamiliar with reading two parts written on two staves of music may wish to yellow highlight the notes they plan on playing---it takes a little getting used to.
One rule is "do no harm". Leave out high notes and runs you can't play.
In the concert you will be asked to sit together with others playing the same part. Although the music for all 4 parts is there, you should play only the part played by the group you are seated with.
Another rule is DON'T LOOK Back. If you missed it, its gone. You can get it next TubaChristmas
